Resumo: The Indian Ocean constitutes the most trafficked of the world's oceans, a constant historical movement of people as much as goods, with communities such as the Hadrahmi moved wholesale from southern Yemen as far afield as the Celebes. The story, as it is usually told relating to the Portuguese, sees the century between 1450-1550 as the time of great population movement in the Portuguese Empire This was the moment for adventurers to make their fortunes in the interstices of a newly forged maritime world, and for great feats of movement and settlement across huge swathes of the Indian ocean world.

However, while Portuguese emigration continued to flood Brazil right through to the eighteenth century, this was not the case in the East where, with the economic shifts constituted principally by the Brazilian cycle de sucre replacing the cycle des épices et de l'or of Africa and the East Indies from around the 1580s, the East lost its lure as a place for fresh cadres of young men from the metropole seeking their fame and fortune.  Those who made the journey out to the Orient were, henceforth, career diplomats, men of the cloth and high-ranking military men and their retinues. But what of the original settlers and migrants?
