This book deals with one of the most pervasive ways by which people
have addressed authority throughout history: petitioning. The book
explores traditional practices and institutions, as well as the
transformation of petitions as vehicles of popular politics. The
ability or the right to petition was also a crucial element for the
development and operation of early modern empires, playing a major
role on the negotiated patterns of the Atlantic World. This book
shows how petitions were used in Europe, America and Africa, by the
governors and the governed, by the rich and the poor, by the
colonists and the colonised and by the liberal and the reactionary
groups. Broken down into three thematic parts, encompassing both in
chronological and geographical scope, the book deepens our
understanding of petitioning and its relation with ideas of consent
and subjecthood, nationality and citizenship, political
participation and democracy. This book provides a rare comparative
platform for the study of a subject that has been receiving growing
interest.
