- Abstract:
- This chapter explores the survival of a Portuguese presence in Mylapore (today a suburb of Chennai, South India) after the loss of its political and military autonomy. Notions of sovereignty and the boundaries between a pre-colonial and a fully colonial dimension are here questioned on the basis of a little known case study.
- Notes:
- Paper presented at the conference “Portuguese and Luso-Asian Legacies in Southeast Asia, 1511–2011”, held in Singapore and Malacca on 28–30 September 2010.
