The second volume in the OUP/National History Center series,
Reinterpreting History, this book offers an incisive look at how
interpretations of the Atlantic world have changed over time and
from a variety of national perspectives. Atlantic history, which
developed in the 1970s and has become very popular in the past
several years, looks at the transnational interconnections between
Europe, North America, South America, and Africa, particularly in
the early modern/colonial period, rather than understanding
nations/states absent a broader global context. This volume
discusses key areas of the Atlantic world, including the British,
Dutch, French, Iberian, and African Atlantic, as well as the
movement of ideas, peoples, and goods. It also offers critical
perspectives of the concept itself, juxtaposing it with global and
Continental history. The cast of contributors is stellar and
international, including scholars who have been at the forefront of
teaching and research in this area. Together they will create a
volume that introduces inexperienced students and general readers
to Atlantic history, as well as offers new perspectives for
scholars. Atlantic history is taught as its own course at a variety
of universities, and Atlantic perspectives are incorporated into
courses on early modern Europe, British history, colonial America,
colonial Latin America, and African history.
