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.
