Specter of Peace advances a novel historical conceptualization of
peace as a process of "right ordering" that involved the careful
regulation of violence, the legitimation of colonial authority, and
the creation of racial and gendered hierarchies. The volume
highlights the many paths of peacemaking that otherwise have
hitherto gone unexplored in early American and Atlantic World
scholarship and challenges historians to take peace as seriously as
violence. Early American peacemaking was a productive discourse of
moral ordering fundamentally concerned with regulating violence.
The historicization of peace, the authors argue, can sharpen our
understanding of violence, empire, and the early modern struggle
for order and harmony in the colonial Americas and Atlantic World.
