The Atlantic in World History, 1490-1830 looks at the historical
connections between four continents - Africa, Europe, North America
and South America - through the lens of Atlantic history. It shows
how the Atlantic has been more than just an ocean: it has been an
important site of circulation and transmission, allowing exchanges
and interchanges which have profoundly shaped the development of
the world. Divided into four thematic sections, Trevor Burnard's
sweeping yet concise narrative covers the period from the voyages
of Columbus to the New World in the 1490s through to the end of the
Age of Revolutions around 1830. It deals with key topics including
the Columbian exchange, Atlantic slavery and abolition, war as a
global phenomenon, the Age of Revolution, religious conversion,
nation-building, trade and commerce and intellectual movements such
as the Enlightenment. Rather than focusing on the 'rise of the
West', Burnard stresses the interactive nature of encounters
between various parts of the world, setting local case studies
within his broader interconnected narrative. Written by a leading
historian of Atlantic history, and including further reading lists,
images and maps as well as a companion website featuring discussion
questions, timelines and primary source extracts, this is an
essential book for students of Atlantic and world history.
