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.

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.

Atlantic Communities Translation Mobility Hospitality

Atlantic Communities Translation Mobility Hospitality

Historically the Atlantic Ocean has served to define the relationship between the so-called worlds of the 'Old' and the 'New'. A geographical divide between continents it is also no less a historical space across which peoples have travelled sharing ideas and cultural practices a site of encounter and exchange that has shaped the lives of communities and nations across the globe. This book maps this productive web of multi-layered connections not just in terms of military migratory economic and commercial actions and processes but also of shifting lines of translation that have mobilised ideas fomented the exchange of experiences and opened up channels of communication. The Atlantic is considered here a global translation zone that has been created through a myriad of crossings physical and conceptual and historically shaped through the reciprocal influences between the different communities situated around and beyond its shores. In the final analysis the book explores the Atlantic as a zone of created relation characterised by the interaction between processes of translation mobility and in the best of cases of hospitality; and most importantly as a space no longer defined by economic and military power but by the multiplicity of identities forged in its ambit. This book will be of interest to scholars and advanced students of translation studies literature history human geography politics sociology and cultural studies. It was originally published as a special issue of the journal Atlantic Studies. | Atlantic Communities Translation Mobility Hospitality

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.

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.
