FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description This ambitious work provides an overview of the Atlantic world, since the 15th century, by exploring the major themes that define the study of this region. Contact with Europeans in Africa and the Americas, the slave trade, gender and race in the early Atlantic world, independence movements in Africa, Caribbean nationalism, and gender and identity in the 20th century are just a few subjects discussed. Moving beyond the micro-histories of the scholarly monograph to connect the fruits of those researches with broader events and processes, this book, in the editors words, makes "a concerted effort to re-connect elites and non-elites, Old World and New, early modern and modern, and economics and culture." It will be a point of embarkation for a new generation of students of the Atlantic world.

Comprehensive and thought-provoking." Olufemi Vaughan, SUNY Stony Brook Promotional A comprehensive survey of the Atlantic region from the 15th century to the present Review Text This collection of essays draws together the latest and most recent contentious scholarship on the Atlantic world. Its goal is twofold. First, the essays provide instructors of undergraduate and graduate students a synthesis and basic narrative of Atlantic world history. Second, the introduction clearly explicates that "this volume wholly rejects that traditional depiction of the Atlantic World being dominated by a handful of Europeans." This new approach to the Atlantic world includes those participating in the "drama" of history through the prism of interaction, counteraction, and reaction of the various cultures and people spanning four continents, in both an inclusive and personal perspective. The volumes topical and chronological organization examines the history of civilizations before the emergence of the Atlantic world, through slavery, abolition, postcolonialism, and the Cold War and beyond. The collection also offers a detailed chronological sequence of events featured in two essays summarizing the abolition of slavery and the timetable of African independence movements, comprising essential material for lecture, graduate, or undergraduate uses. Summing Up: Recommended. Upper-division undergraduates and above. --Choice Review Quote "This collection of essays draws together the latest and most recent contentious scholarship on the Atlantic world. . . . Recommended.
