The Atlantic in Global History 1500-2000

The Atlantic in Global History 1500-2000

The Atlantic in Global History is a collection of original essays by leading authors that both introduce the main themes of Atlantic history and expand the category of the Atlantic chronologically spatially and methodologically. Moving away from the nation-state focused model of Atlantic history this book emphasizes the comparisons among national experiences of the Atlantic. Meanwhile by extending beyond the early modern period and into the nineteenth and twentieth centuries it presents the continued analytical value of the Atlantic paradigm. Each chapter explores the events that formed the nations and cultures of the Atlantic region and examines the Atlantic’s relationship with non-Atlantic communities. This second edition is updated with a new introduction which includes a section dedicated to developments in the field since the publication of the previous edition and a new guide for instructors with suggestions for classroom use. The volume’s broad global and chronological coverage makes it an ideal book for students and lecturers of Atlantic History. | The Atlantic in Global History 1500-2000

Museums and Atlantic Slavery

Museums and Atlantic Slavery

Museums and Atlantic Slavery explores how slavery the Atlantic slave trade and enslaved people are represented through words visual images artifacts and audiovisual materials in museums in Europe and the Americas. Divided into four chapters the book addresses four recurrent themes: wealth and luxury; victimhood and victimization; resistance and rebellion; and resilience and achievement. Considering the roles of various social actors who have contributed to the introduction of slavery in the museum in the last thirty years the analysis draws on selected exhibitions and institutions entirely dedicated to slavery as well as national community plantation and house museums in the United States England France and Brazil. Engaging with literature from a range of disciplines including history anthropology sociology art history tourism and museum studies Araujo provides an overview of a topic that has not yet been adequately discussed and analysed within the museum studies field. Museums and Atlantic Slavery encourages scholars students and museum professionals to critically engage with representations of slavery in museums. The book will help readers to recognize how depictions of human bondage in museums and exhibitions often fail to challenge racism and white supremacy inherited from the period of slavery.

The Fraternal Atlantic 1770–1930 Race Revolution and Transnationalism in the Worlds of Freemasonry

The Fraternal Atlantic 1770–1930 Race Revolution and Transnationalism in the Worlds of Freemasonry

This book examines Freemasonry in the eighteenth- and nineteenth-century Atlantic world. Drawing on fresh empirical evidence the chapters position fraternalism as a critical component of Atlantic history. Fraternalism was a key strategy for people swept up in the dislocations of imperialism large-scale migrations and the socio-political upheavals of revolution. Ranging from confraternities to Masonic lodges to friendly societies fraternal organizations offered people opportunities to forge linkages across diverse and widely separated parts of the world. Using six case studies the contributors to this volume address multiple themes of fraternal organizations: their role in revolutionary movements; their intersections with the conflictive histories of racism slavery and anti-slavery; their appeal for diasporic groups throughout the Atlantic world such as revolutionary refugees European immigrants in North America and members of the Jewish diaspora; and the limits of fraternal brothering in addressing the challenges of modernity. The chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue of Atlantic Studies: Global Currents. | The Fraternal Atlantic 1770–1930 Race Revolution and Transnationalism in the Worlds of Freemasonry

Reforming Senates Upper Legislative Houses in North Atlantic Small Powers 1800-present

Reforming Senates Upper Legislative Houses in North Atlantic Small Powers 1800-present

This new study of senates in small powers across the North Atlantic shows that the establishment and the reform of these upper legislative houses have followed remarkably parallel trajectories. Senate reforms emerged in the wake of deep political crises within the North Atlantic world and were influenced by the comparatively weak positions of small powers. Reformers responded to crises and constantly looked beyond borders and oceans for inspiration to keep their senates relevant.

The North Atlantic Frontier of Medieval Europe Vikings and Celts

The North Atlantic Frontier of Medieval Europe Vikings and Celts

Discussion of medieval European expansion tends to focus on expansion eastward and the crusades. The selection of studies reprinted here however focuses on the other end of Eurasia where dwelled the warlike Celts and beyond whom lay the north seas and the awesome Atlantic Ocean formidable obstacles to expansion westward. This volume looks first at the legacy of the Viking expansion which had briefly created a network stretching across the sea from Britain and Ireland to North America and had demonstrated that the Atlantic could be crossed and land reached. The next sections deal with the English expansion in the western and northern British Isles. In the 12th century the Normans began the process of subjugating the Celts thus inaugurating for the English an experience which was to prove crucial when colonizing the Americas in the 17th century. Medieval Ireland in particular served as a laboratory for the development of imperial institutions attitudes and ideologies that shaped the creation of the British Empire and served as a staging area for further expansion westward. | The North Atlantic Frontier of Medieval Europe Vikings and Celts

Architecture and Extraction in the Atlantic World 1500-1850

Architecture and Extraction in the Atlantic World 1500-1850

This edited collection examines the development of Atlantic World architecture after 1492. In particular the chapters explore the landscapes of extraction as material networks that brought people space and labor together in harvesting raw materials cultivating agriculture for export-level profits and circulating raw materials and commodities in Europe Africa and the Americas from 1500 to 1850. This book argues that histories of extraction remain incomplete without careful attention to the social physical and mental nexus that is architecture just as architecture’s development in the last 500 years cannot be adequately comprehended without attention to empire extraction colonialism and the rise of what Immanuel Wallerstein has called the world system. This world system was possible because of built environments that enabled resource extraction transport of raw materials circulation of commodities and enactment of power relations in the struggle between capital and labor. Separated into three sections: Harvesting the Environment Cultivating Profit and Circulating Commodities: Networks and Infrastructures this volume covers a wide range of geographies from England to South America from Africa to South Carolina. The book aims to decenter Eurocentric approaches to architectural history to expose the global circulation of ideas things commodities and people that constituted the architecture of extraction in the Atlantic World. In focusing on extraction we aim to recover histories of labor exploitation and racialized oppression of interest to the global community. The book will be of interest to researchers and students of architectural history geography urban and labor history literary studies historic preservation and colonial studies. | Architecture and Extraction in the Atlantic World 1500-1850

Historicizing Self-Interest in the Modern Atlantic World A Plea for Ego?

Historicizing Self-Interest in the Modern Atlantic World A Plea for Ego?

This volume historicizes the use of the notion of self-interest that at least since Bernard de Mandeville and Adam Smith’s theories is considered a central component of economic theory. Having in the twentieth century become one of the key-features of rational choice models and thus is seen as an idealized trait of human behavior self-interest has despite Albert O. Hirschman’s pivotal analysis of self-interest only marginally been historicized. A historicization(s) of self-interest however offers new insights into the concept by asking why when for what reason and in which contexts the notion was discussed or referred to how it was employed by contemporaries and how the different usages developed and changed over time. This helps us to appreciate the various transformations in the perception of the notion and also to explore how and in what ways different people at different times and in different regions reflected on or realized the act of considering what was in their best interest. The volume focuses on those different usages knowledges and practices concerned with self-interest in the modern Atlantic World from the seventeenth to twentieth centuries by using different approaches including political and economic theory actuarial science anthropology or the history of emotions. Offering a new perspective on a key component of Western capitalism this is the ideal resource for researches and scholars of intellectual political and economic history in the modern Atlantic World. | Historicizing Self-Interest in the Modern Atlantic World A Plea for Ego?

European Destiny Atlantic Transformations Portuguese Foreign Policy Under the Second Republic 1979-1992

European Destiny Atlantic Transformations Portuguese Foreign Policy Under the Second Republic 1979-1992

With the fall of its centuries-old empire in 1974-1975 Portugal embarked on a transitional period that reconciled a long tradition of acting out national interests overseas with the need to integrate itself into Western Europe. The result has been a deemphasis on various Atlantic and colonial linkages and the forging of a new and highly successful European identity within the framework of the European Community. In European Destiny Atlantic Transformations Scott B. MacDonald offers a comprehensive analysis of Portugal's foreign policy and its highly successful venture in economic and political transformation. Although Portugal is firm in its committment to a European destiny it has not turned its back on relations with the United States and its former colonies hi Africa and Asia. MacDonald traces the evolution of U. S. Portuguese cooperation along economic cultural and military lines and shows how NATO has played a pivotal role in the process. This was most recently underscored when the U. S. made extensive use of the Azores during the Gulf War against Iraq. Likewise in its ties with the Lusophone countries formerly under its control - Cape Verde Guinea-Bissau S - o Tom and Princip - Portugal has sought to improve political relations and act as a peacemaker in regional conflicts such as those in East Timor Angola and Mozambique. The scope of MacDonald's work takes in issues posed to Portugal by new foreign policy concerns that range from the breakup of the Soviet Union to the rise of Islamic fundamentalism in North Africa and the Middle East. He points out that in a world of rapidly shifting political and economic alignments Portugal provides a representative model of a relatively small nation that has undergone succesful economic reform while deepening its committment to its new democratic system. As such the Portuguese model is instructive for newly emerging democracies of Eastern Europe and Latin America. European Destiny Atlantic Transformations is an important addition to the literature on post-Cold War politics. It will be read by historians economists and foreign policy specialists. | European Destiny Atlantic Transformations Portuguese Foreign Policy Under the Second Republic 1979-1992
