Reducing difference in the Portuguese empire? A case study from early-modern Goa

Xavier, Ângela Barreto

Abstract

In 1951, the Brazilian sociologist Gilberto Freyre made a short visit to Goa. This was part of a trip during which Freyre travelled through the Portuguese colonies in Africa and Asia to observe the results of the miscegenation process that, in his view, characterised Portuguese colonialism (Castelo 1998; Souza 2008; Bastos 2003; Cardão and Castelo 2015; Bastos 2015). During that visit, Freyre considered that Goan society was one of the best expressions of Lusotropicalism, of that benign Portuguese colonialism that adapted physically and culturally to tropical contexts, creating mixed societies (Freyre 1953). Ironically, five years later, the Portuguese geographer Orlando Ribeiro, who, among other Portuguese intellectuals, espoused Luso-tropicalist theories, had a different impression of the same territories and society, warning Salazar about the near absence of Lusophile feelings, and that the Portuguese presence in Goa was in danger (Ribeiro 1999). How can these different narratives be explained? Was Freyre mistaken? Or was Ribeiro too apocalyptic (which he was not, since in 1961, Goa was annexed by the Indian government)?

To unde s and he di e se pe cep ions ha F ey e and Ribei o had, in he same decade, o he same e i o ies and socie y, i is necessa y o go back in his o y.

Like hei pa en s, hese child en had ull igh s and obliga ions in ma e s o public and p i a e Po uguese law. Since Po uguese law did no p edic in e e ence in he p i a e a ai s o he communi ies ha we e unde Po uguese dominion bu we e no Po uguese (o Ch is ian), his legal aspec was no i ele an (Hespanha 1995; Suá ez 1971, 6, § 18-22).

Besides inc easing, in demog aphic e ms, he c own’s powe in hose e i o ies, physical miscegena ion changed, in he long e m, he ela ion be ween “colonise s” and “colonised”. F om he second decade o he 16 h cen u y onwa ds, he communi y o “colonise s” became mo e he e ogeneous, including a social g oup o Indian descen , which was, o some ex en , he his o ical p oo o wha was a gued by F ey e.

Secondly, om he ou se , he e had also been Po uguese nobles who we e agains such unions, a guing ha simila a angemen s would nei he be welcome no honou ed. Since he e we e concu en heo ies o gene a ion (o igina ed by Hippoc a es and Galen), and some o hem ques ioned he male dominance, he ea o blood con amina ion was also p esen . In addi ion, he e was he ques ion o colou – he colou ba ie –, 246 ambiguous inclusions: inside ou , ou side in which did no ha e any legal s anding, bu o which mos Po uguese we e ha dly indi e en (Boxe 1961, 1963).
