| Outline of Annual Research Achievements |
The results of my research were published in: the The Portuguese Slave Trade in Early Modern Japan: Merchants, Jesuits and Japanese, Chinese, and Korean Slaves (Boston, Leiden: Brill, 2018)and “Judaeo-converso merchants in the private trade between Macao and Manila in the Early Modern period”, Revista de Historia Economica - Journal of Iberian and Latin American Economic History ; Cambridge University Press, Volume 38 , Special Issue 3: Creating global demand during the Early Modern Era (December 2020): 519, 552. In these studies, I presented many details on the existence of Japanese living around the world. I also looked into the slavery networks used by the Portuguese in Japan, as well as the commercial activities between Japan and the cities of Goa, Melaka, Macau, and Manila. The above-mentioned book (2019) was a Book Award winner, having attained the first place by the Portuguese Academy of History Award and Gulbenkian Foundation. This research was also published in BBC News, September 11, 2020.
