In the last decades, interest in the history of Macau has grown but research into it has favored its political, institutional and diplomatic history. For that reason, it is our objective to study less common topics: populational migrations and social mobility; the woman's social condition and feminine subjugation. We are not only interested in learning their connection regarding Macau to the kingdom of Portugal, but also their connection in the Portuguese and Asian colonial contexts. Thus, the Luso-Asian element of the population and the ethnic elements which contributed to the establishment of a mixed society are analyzed.
