Never truly a "new world" entirely detached from the home countries
of its immigrants, colonial America, over the generations, became a
model of transatlantic culture. Colonial society was shaped by the
conflict between colonists' need to adapt to the American
environment and their desire to perpetuate old world traditions or
to imitate the charismatic model of the British establishment. In
the course of colonial history, these contrasting impulses produced
a host of distinctive cultures and identities. In this impressive
new collection, prominent scholars of early American history
explore this complex dynamic of accommodation and replication to
demonstrate how early American societies developed from the
intersection of American and Atlantic influences. The volume,
edited by Robert Olwell and Alan Tully, offers fresh perspectives
on colonial history and on early American attitudes toward slavery
and ethnicity, native Americans, and the environment, as well as
colonial social, economic, and political development. It reveals
the myriad ways in which American colonists were the inhabitants
and subjects of a wider Atlantic world. Cultures and Identities in
Colonial British America, one of a three-volume series under the
editorship of Jack P. Greene, aims to give students of Atlantic
history a "state of the field" survey by pursuing interesting lines
of research and raising new questions. The entire series,
"Anglo-America in the Transatlantic World," engages the major
organizing themes of the subject through a collection of
high-level, debate-inspiring essays, inviting readers to think anew
about the complex ways in which the Atlantic experience shaped both
American societies and the Atlantic world itself.
