| description | António Aresta’s article, written in homage to Charles R. Boxer, argues that the British historian’s relevance to Macau studies is not confined to his bibliography, but stems above all from a rare combination of linguistic skills, documentary attention, and the capacity to mobilize academic networks. Drawing on autobiographical excerpts and the biographical framework available in the opening pages, the research reconstructs the pathways that enabled Boxer to work with Portuguese sources and, crucially, with Japanese documentation acquired during his military mission in Japan (1930–1933). The text also contextualizes how his experience of the Second World War, his academic career, and his predominant publication in English fostered the international dissemination of the knowledge he produced.
As results, the article highlights that Boxer’s “fascination with Macau” translated into systematic research, including the valorization of archives and rare collections, as well as the implicit critique of institutional neglect in the preservation of historical heritage. It concludes that Boxer’s trajectory contributed to renewing the historiography of the Portuguese empire and, in particular, to consolidating a research agenda on Macau sustained by documentary rigor and access to previously inaccessible sources. |
