The Atlantic World

The Atlantic World

As the meeting point between Europe colonial America and Africa the history of the Atlantic world is a constantly shifting arena but one which has been a focus of huge and vibrant debate for many years. In over thirty chapters all written by experts in the field The Atlantic World takes up these debates and gathers together key original scholarship to provide an authoritative survey of this increasingly popular area of world history. The book takes a thematic approach to topics including exploration migration and cultural encounters. In the first chapters scholars examine the interactions between groups which converged in the Atlantic world such as slaves European migrants and Native Americans. The volume then considers questions such as finance money and commerce in the Atlantic world as well as warfare government and religion. The collection closes with chapters examining how ideas circulated across and around the Atlantic and beyond. It presents the Atlantic as a shared space in which commodities and ideas were exchanged and traded and examines the impact that these exchanges had on both people and places. Including an introductory essay from the editors which defines the field and lavishly illustrated with paintings drawings and maps this accessible volume is invaluable reading for all students and scholars of this broad sweep of world history.
