Synopsis Carved ivory was one of the first commodities exported from Africa to Europe. Ivory artifacts from Atlantic Africa figured in cabinets of curiosities and were used in everyday life. The hybridism of some of this corpus has sparked lively debate among researchers and collectors about provenance, dating, and meaning. African ivories in the Atlantic World, 1400-1900 addresses the subject in its different dimensions. Priority is given to the African contexts of production and use. Circulation is approached in the scope of trade in raw ivory, a topic usually subsumed by the historiography of the Atlantic slave trade. Finally, some of the paths taken by carved and raw African ivory to Europe and South America are identified and the current legal status of this commerce is discussed. Sinopse O marfim lavrado foi um dos primeiros produtos exportados de África para a Europa. Artefactos ebúrneos da África Atlântica figuraram nos gabinetes de curiosidades e foram usados no quotidiano. O hibridismo de uma parte desse corpus tem suscitado vivo debate entre investigadores e coleccionadores sobre proveniências, datações e significados. "Marfins Africanos no Mundo Atlântico, 1400-1900" aborda o tema nas suas diferentes dimensões. Privilegiam-se os contextos africanos de produção e uso. A circulação é tratada no âmbito do comércio do marfim em bruto, habitualmente subsumido pela historiografia no comércio de escravizados. Identificam-se, por fim, alguns dos caminhos percorridos pelo marfim africano lavrado e em bruto na Europa e na América do Sul e o seu enquadramento jurídico actual. Table of contents | Índice

SYNOPSIS The former Portuguese-ruled Macau has been a multi-ethnic/national rendezvous attracting people from different origins and serving as a stage for them to perform manifold roles. Through time, countless Chinese and foreign people have left indelible footprints along with the rendition of its disparate “visages”. This speck of land was once a religious bastion for the propagation of Christianity, a springboard for adventurers, and a haven for pirates and fugitives. It was also an opium depot, a slave trade centre, a gambling hotbed, and not least, an arena for the Sino-Portuguese power struggle. Yet, at times it was a sanctuary for the destitute, and a permanent shelter for the displaced. This book throws light on remarkable midway sojourners, whose significant presence was imprinted in history even though they appeared in Macau briefly for various purposes in the midst of cataclysmic vicissitudes in China. Central to the discussion are an invincible pirate king, an ardent anti-opium statesman, a reformist gentry-merchant, an impoverished musician, and a diasporized educationalist. Likewise, two controversial historians, a high-handed colonial governor, and a revengeful colonel stamped their abiding marks at a specific time in the colony’s history. Inextricably entwined with Macau’s socio-political evolution, some of these personages have contributed to the rich culture of this bewitching city. INDEX Preface and acknowledgements
