This issue of Review of Culture resumes the studies on Portuguese periodicals published in the 19th-century Macao, with an emphasis on the Echo Macaense. The historical context of the Macao press, its historical impact on society, and its contribution to the construction of identity are all covered in this column.
In the field of literature, a study of a gloomy mosaic of unfortunate women woven during the historical era is delivered, in a period when Macao was a refuge chosen by many refugees. Closing the issue closes with a book review discussing China’s global contacts over 150 years.
