Manifest Perdition: Shipwreck Narrative and the Disruption of EmpireU of Minnesota Press, 2002 - 186 páginas Shipwreck, death, and survival; terror, hunger, and salvation -- these are the experiences of those onboard merchant Portuguese ships in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. In this book we see how the dramatic, compelling, and often gory accounts of shipwreck, collected in Historia Tragico-Maritima (1735-36), or The Tragic History of the Sea, challenge state-sponsored versions of events. Manifest Perdition reveals the important place of these stories in literary history and shows -- for the first time -- how they serve as both a product of and a resistance to Iberian expansion and colonialism.
