Beskrivelse
The book surveys the role of Portuguese and Sephardic merchants in the contraband tobacco trade in the late sixteenth- and early seventeenth-century Atlantic world. It offers a historical-geographic perspective linking Amsterdam as an emerging staple market to a network of merchants of the 'Portuguese Nation,' examining the illicit trade in the context of rivalry between Spain and the Dutch Republic during the Eighty Years' War.
