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
