A Cultural History of the Atlantic World, 1250 1820 explores the
idea that strong linkages exist in the histories of Africa, Europe,
and North and South America. John K. Thornton provides a
comprehensive overview of the history of the Atlantic Basin before
1830 by describing political, social, and cultural interactions
between the continents' inhabitants. He traces the backgrounds of
the populations on these three continental landmasses brought into
contact by European navigation. Thornton then examines the
political and social implications of the encounters, tracing the
origins of a variety of Atlantic societies and showing how new ways
of eating, drinking, speaking, and worshipping developed in the
newly created Atlantic World. This book uses close readings of
original sources to produce new interpretations of its subject."
