Those ambitious old ladies are a REAL problem!
Thank you (and Zoltán) for calling our attention to her…

Thanks for reaching out. Unfortunately, Zoltan's review is just the beginning of the story.
All best wishes, KDJ

I'm also aware that unfair reviews do happen ... due to various reasons. 
Sometimes books are taken seriously, depending on who publishes the same.
At other times, works are condemned based on who wrote it.
As for myself, am just keen to see writing on the Portuguese from other parts of Asia. FN

That wouldn't be fair!
Someone is going to call us "ambitious old men" ....
FN
PS: I don't understand too much (or anything) about the politics of Asia-Portuguese historiography, but would like to have an open mind!

’Those ambitious old ladies...’ - best to stick to the scholarship or its questionable nature. This is a misogynist post - should be deleted or called out by those administering this.

Personally, I've found ambitious old men to be the far more pernicious + destructive problem. 

Nonetheless, I am saddened + troubled by these accusations about Dr. de Silva + hope we will hear her point of view soon.

1) This is a 12 year old paper. What's brought it attention today?

2) "Ambitious old ladies"? What a dreadful remark to make.

I am REALLY sorry for the wording! I didn't mean it - at all…
(I only wanted to say Kenneth D. Jackson is right in his complaints.)
Yours,
R.M.
