The Atlantic Slave Trade in World History

The Atlantic Slave Trade in World History

In The Atlantic Slave Trade in World History Jeremy Black presents a compact yet comprehensive survey of slavery and its impact on the world primarily centered on the Atlantic trade. Opening with a clear discussion of the problems of defining slavery the book goes on to investigate the Atlantic slave trade from its origins to abolition including comparisons to other systems of slavery outside the Atlantic region and the persistence of modern-day slavery. Crucially the book does not ask readers to abandon their emotional ties to the subject but puts events in context so that it becomes clear how such an institution not only arose but flourished. Black shows that slavery and the slave trade were not merely add-ons to the development of Western civilization but intimately linked to it. In a vital and accessible narrative The Atlantic Slave Trade in World History enables students to understand this terrible element of human history and how it shaped the modern world.

New Orleans in the Atlantic WorldBetween Land and Sea

New Orleans in the Atlantic WorldBetween Land and Sea

The thematic project ‘New Orleans in the Atlantic World’ was planned immediately after hurricane Katrina and focuses on what meteorologists have always known: the city’s identity and destiny belong to the broader Caribbean and Atlantic worlds as perhaps no other American city does. Balanced precariously between land and sea the city’s geohistory has always interwoven diverse cultures languages peoples and economies. Only with the rise of the new Atlantic Studies matrix however have scholars been able to fully appreciate this complex history from a multi-disciplinary multilingual and multi-scaled perspectivism. In this book historians geographers anthropologists and cultural studies scholars bring to light the atlanticist vocation of New Orleans and in doing so they also help to define the new field of Atlantic Studies. This book was published as a special issue of Atlantic Studies.

NATO and the North Atlantic Revitalising Collective Defence

NATO and the North Atlantic Revitalising Collective Defence

The book analyses the renewed importance of the North Atlantic for NATO in the face of new security challenges This Whitehall Paper explores the renewed importance of the North Atlantic Ocean to NATO’s security through the lenses of the United States United Kingdom and Norway in particular. These three NATO members form the territorial rim around the North Atlantic and its peripheral seas. All are maritime nations that have historically taken prime responsibility for security in the region and together with Iceland they form the front line to a resurgent Russian maritime capability. These three counties with support from the rest of the northern region must take the lead to ensure that NATO and its partners devote sufficient resources to this aspect of NATO’s area of responsibility. | NATO and the North Atlantic Revitalising Collective Defence

Race Romanticism and the Atlantic

Race Romanticism and the Atlantic

In highlighting the crucial contributions of diasporic people to British cultural production this important collection defamiliarizes prevailing descriptions of Romanticism as the expression of a national character or culture. The contributors approach the period from the perspective of the Atlantic maritime economy making a strong case for viewing British Romanticism as the effect of myriad economic and cultural exchanges occurring throughout a circum-Atlantic world driven by an insatiable hunger for sugar and slaves. Typically taken for granted the material contributions of slaves sailors and servants shaped Romanticism both in spite of and because of the severe conditions they experienced throughout the Atlantic world. The essays range from Sierra Leone to Jamaica to Nova Scotia to the metropole examining not only the desperate circumstances of diasporic peoples but also the extraordinary force of their creativity and resistance. Of particular importance is the emergence of race as a category of identity class and containment. Race Romanticism and the Atlantic explores that process both economically and theoretically showing how race ensures the persistence of servitude after abolition. At the same time the collection never loses sight of the extraordinary contributions diasporic peoples made to British culture during the Romantic era.

The Atlantic Iron AgeSettlement and Identity in the First Millennium BC

The Atlantic Iron AgeSettlement and Identity in the First Millennium BC

It may be surprising to learn that this book is the first ever survey of the Atlantic Iron Age: this tradition is cited in archaeology frequently enough to seem firmly established yet has never been clearly defined.With this book Jon Henderson provides an important and much-needed exploration of the archaeology of western areas of Britain Ireland France and Spain to consider how far Atlantic Iron Age communities were in contact with each other. By examining the evidence for settlement and maritime trade as well as aspects of the material culture of each area Henderson identifies distinct Atlantic social identities through time. He also pinpoints areas of similarity: the possibility of cultural 'cross-pollination' caused by maritime links and to what extent these contacts influenced and altered the distinctive character of local communities. A major theme running through the book is the role of the Atlantic seaboard itself and what impact this unique environment had on the ways Atlantic communities perceived themselves and their place in the world. As a history of these communities unfolds a general archaeological Atlantic identity breaks down into a range of regional identities which compare interestingly with each other and with traditional models of Celtic identity. Bringing together the Iron Age settlement evidence for the Atlantic regions in one place for the first time this excellent and original book is certain to establish itself as the definitive study of the Atlantic Iron Age.

Across Currents: Connections Between Atlantic and (Trans)Pacific Studies

Across Currents: Connections Between Atlantic and (Trans)Pacific Studies

This book explores connections between Atlantic studies and (trans)Pacific studies including the potential discursive topical and historical overlaps of the two fields. It carves out mutual concerns and theoretical affinities but also divergent approaches and differences. While acknowledging the fundamental differences that characterize the individual fields the essays in this volume examine how both Atlantic and (trans)Pacific studies are part of global currents of political activist artistic economic and academic exchange. This volume brings together voices from Europe North America and the Pacific with disciplinary backgrounds in history culture and literature. Directed at scholars with a background in (trans)Pacific and/or Atlantic studies this collection is an attempt to stimulate exchange between the two fields to intensify their impact within the current transnational focus of literary and cultural studies to encourage the questioning of well-mapped paths of inquiry and to outline new theoretical approaches to both fields.

Port Cities of Atlantic Iberia c. 1500–1900

Port Cities of Atlantic Iberia c. 1500–1900

Charting the evolution of the port cities of Atlantic Spain and Portugal over four centuries this book examines the often dynamic interaction between the large privileged ports of Lisbon Seville and Cadiz (the Metropoles) and the smaller ports of among others Oporto Corunna and Santander (the Second Tier). The book particularly focuses on the implications of state-sponsored commercial policies for the main ports of Atlantic Iberia during the monopoly period extending from 1503 to c.1778 and briefly considers the implications of the suppression of monopoly for these centres over the remainder of the nineteenth century. Patrick O'Flanagan employs a wealth of source material to provide a multi-faceted survey of the growth of these port cities moving deftly from local concerns to regional developments and global relationships. Beyond Spain and Portugal the book also considers the important role played by the Atlantic archipelagoes of the Canaries the Azores and Madeira. This formidable study is an essential addition to the library of those studying Atlantic Iberia historical geography and transatlantic economic relationships of this period.

The Atlantic Enlightenment

The Atlantic Enlightenment

Transatlantic studies especially during the enlightenment period is of increasing critical interest amongst scholars. But was there an Atlantic Enlightenment? This interdisciplinary collection harnesses the work of some of the most prominent figures in the fields of literature; intellectual cultural and social history; geography; and political science to examine the emergence of the Atlantic as one of the key conceptual paradigms of eighteenth century studies. In this spirit the contributors offer new insights into the conditions that generated a major transatlantic genre of writing; addressing questions of race political economy and the transmission of Enlightenment ideas in literary political historical and religious contexts. Whether examining John Witherspoon's evolution from Calvinist theologian to Revolutionary theorist or Adam Smith's reception in the antebellum United States the essays remind us that the transatlantic traffic in ideas moved from west to east from east to west and in patterns that both complicate and enrich what we thought we knew about the vectors of transmission in this pivotal period.

Defining the Atlantic CommunityCulture Intellectuals and Policies in the Mid-Twentieth Century

Defining the Atlantic CommunityCulture Intellectuals and Policies in the Mid-Twentieth Century

In this volume essays by scholars from both sides of the Atlantic open new perspectives on the construction of the "Atlantic community" during World War II and the early Cold War years. Based on original approaches bringing together diplomatic history and the history of culture and ideas the book shows how atlantism came to provide a solid ideological foundation for the security community of North American and European nations which took shape in the 1940s. The idea of a transatlantic community based on shared histories values and political and economic institutions was instrumental to the creation of the Atlantic Alliance and partly accounts for the continuing existence of the Atlantic partnership after the Cold War. At the same time this study breaks new ground by arguing that the emergence of the idea of "Atlantic community" also reflected deeper trends in transatlantic relations; in fact it was the outcome of the re-definition of "the West" due to the rise of the US and the decline of Europe in the international arena during the first half of the Twentieth Century.

Post/Colonialism and the Pursuit of Freedom in the Black Atlantic

Post/Colonialism and the Pursuit of Freedom in the Black Atlantic

Post/Colonialism and the Pursuit of Freedom in the Black Atlantic is an interdisciplinary collection of essays of wide historical and geographic scope which engages the legacy of diaspora colonialism and slavery. The contributors explore the confrontation between Africa’s forced migrants and their unwelcoming new environments in order to highlight the unique individual experiences of survival and assimilation that characterized Atlantic slavery. As they focus on the African or Afro-diasporan populations under study the chapters gauge the degree to which formal independence coming out of a variety of practices of opposition and resistance lasting centuries in some cases has translated into freedom security and a "good life."By foregrounding Hispanophone Lusophone and Francophone African and Afro-descendant concerns over and against an often Anglo-centric focus in the field the book brings a more representative approach to the area of diaspora or Black Atlantic studies offering a more complete appreciation of Black Atlantic cultural production across history and across linguistic barriers.

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.

Free Soil in the Atlantic World

Free Soil in the Atlantic World

Free Soil in the Atlantic World examines the principle that slaves who crossed particular territorial frontiers- from European medieval cities to the Atlantic nation states of the nineteenth century- achieved their freedom. Based upon legislation and judicial cases each essay considers the legal origins of Free Soil and the context in which it was invoked: medieval England Toulouse and medieval France early modern France and the Mediterranean the Netherlands eighteenth-century Portugal nineteenth-century Angola nineteenth-century Spain and Cuba and the Brazilian-Paraguay borderlands. On the one hand Free Soil policies were deployed by weaker polities to attract worker-settlers; however by the eighteenth century Free Soil was increasingly invoked by European imperial centres to distinguish colonial regimes based in slavery from the privileges and liberties associated with the metropole.This book was originally published as a special issue of Slavery and Abolition.

Cultural Economies of the Atlantic WorldObjects and Capital in the Transatlantic Imagination

Cultural Economies of the Atlantic WorldObjects and Capital in the Transatlantic Imagination

Cultural Economies explores the dynamic intersection of material culture and transatlantic formations of "capital" in the long eighteenth century. It brings together two cutting-edge fields of inquiry—Material Studies and Atlantic Studies—into a generative collection of essays that investigate nuanced ways that capital material culture and differing transatlantic ideologies intersected. This ambitious provocative work provides new interpretive critiques and methodological approaches to understanding both the material and the abstract relationships between humans and objects including the objectification of humans in the larger current conversation about capitalism and inevitably power in the Atlantic world. Chronologically bracketed by events in the long-eighteenth century circum-Atlantic these essays employ material case studies from littoral African states to abolitionist North America to Caribbean slavery to medicinal practice in South America providing both broad coverage and nuanced interpretation. Holistically Cultural Economies demonstrates that the eighteenth-century Atlantic world of capital and materiality was intimately connected to both large and small networks that inform the hemispheric and transatlantic geopolitics of capital and nation of the present day.
