Port cities were the means through which cultural and economic
exchange took place between continental societies and the maritime
world. In examining the ports of Brazil, the Caribbean and West
Africa, this volume will provide fresh insight into the meaning of
the 'First Globalisation'. Many of these ports were part of
territories either governed or dominated by France, Britain, Spain
or Portugal, that participated in global economy andsociety on very
different terms from those northern European cities where major
merchant and banking interests had their headquarters. Likewise,
the ports of independent American countries underwent their
owndevelopment processes. Taking the perspective of the Global
South, the volume assesses this globalising trend, with its
associated Industrial revolution, colonial expansion and new
migrant and commodities flows. The international cast of authors in
this collection bring fresh insight to this much debated period of
history.
