The Portuguese Community in Shanghai – A Pictorial History

摘要

This book describes their changing fortunes with compassion and discernment. It illustrates their lives with photographs that speaks just as powerfully. The author could never have undertaken what was obviously going to be a difficult task without the wholehearted cooperation of several leading families who were fortunate enough to leave Shanghai with their collections of family photographs. One of them, the Collaço family, was able to bring a complete set of the community's monthly magazine, published for three years from 1940 to 1942.
