The thematic project 'New Orleans in the Atlantic World' was
planned immediately after hurricane Katrina and focuses on what
meteorologists have always known: the city's identity and destiny
belong to the broader Caribbean and Atlantic worlds as perhaps no
other American city does. Balanced precariously between land and
sea, the city's geohistory has always interwoven diverse cultures,
languages, peoples, and economies. Only with the rise of the new
Atlantic Studies matrix, however, have scholars been able to fully
appreciate this complex history from a multi-disciplinary,
multilingual and multi-scaled perspectivism. In this book,
historians, geographers, anthropologists, and cultural studies
scholars bring to light the atlanticist vocation of New Orleans,
and in doing so they also help to define the new field of Atlantic
Studies.
This book was published as a special issue of Atlantic
Studies.
