About the Journal
Scope
Anais de História de Além-Mar (AHAM Journal) is an indexed and peer reviewed interdisciplinary journal that aims to publish original and relevant academic works about the Portuguese overseas expansion, from the outset of the first "great navigations" (15th century) to the end of the “Overseas Empire” (20th century). The historical framework, and the comparison of parallel phenomena and articulations between the history and societies of the spaces involved should also be contemplated in these works.
AHAM is published by CHAM Publishing, a university press specialising in the open access publication of high-quality books and journals in the Humanities. In alignment with the mission of CHAM – Centre for the Humanities of the School of Social Sciences and Humanities (NOVA FCSH) and the University of the Azores (UAc), its primary objective is to disseminate innovative research that adheres to the highest standards of quality and scholarly rigor, promoting inter- and transdisciplinary approaches while covering a broad geographical and chronological range.
AHAM welcomes proposals for the publication of articles, unpublished documents/sources, book reviews and news items in Portuguese, Spanish, French, English and Italian. It also accepts proposals for thematic dossiers.
