Abstract: Com base na "Crónica dos Feitos da Guiné", de Gomes Eanes de Zurara, pretende-se estudar a experiência portuguesa de guerra contra os muçulmanos e de captura de escravos na costa ocidental africana, e sobretudo o encontro com a Terra dos Negros', na Senegambia, com novas condições geográficas e novos modos de combater, entre 1433 (início do reinado de D. Duarte) e 1448 (termo da regência do Infante D. Pedro). Procura-se levar em conta algumas preocupações recentes da história militar, evitando tanto quanto possível um excessivo etnocentrismo.
Based on Gomes Eanes de Zurara's "Chronicle of the Feats of Guinea", the purpose of this article is to address the Portuguese experience of warfare against Muslims, as well as slave capture on the west coast of Africa, especially the encounter with the "Land of Blacks", in Senegambia, and the confrontation with new geographical circumstances and new ways of fighting, between 1433 (the beginning of King Duarte's reign) and 1448 (the end of Prince Pedro's regency). The author seeks to take into account recent concerns of military history, avoiding an excessive ethnocentrism as far as possible.
