Atlantic in Global History 1500-2000

"For undergraduate and graduate courses in Atlantic History, Global History, Early Modern History, World History II, and Colonial America." This reader, composed of original essays by leading authors, expands the category of the Atlantic chronologically, spatially, and methodologically. It firmly places the Atlantic within global history and the coverage expands into the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. The essays present events that formed the nations and cultures of the Atlantic region and show their global roots and how they intertwine with non-Atlantic communities of the world. Reviewers have said, "This superb collection of essays, taken as a whole, represents the best in Atlantic studies. Creatively and incisively, they show how the Atlantic world contained rhythms and conduits that transcended national and regional boundaries, while reminding us that the Atlantic itself was connected and subjected to global influences." -Alan Galley, Warner Woodring Professor of Atlantic History, Ohio State University "The editors and contributors alike are to be applauded for grasping with both hands the holy Grail that is scholarliness and accessibility." -Matthew Restall, Pennsylvania State University "Recognizing the arbitrary nature of geographical boundaries in the face of human tendency to pursue goals and follow inducements along trajectories that readily cross such boundaries, these essays address a variety of issues." -David Ringrose, University of California, San DiegoCanizares-Esguerra, Jorge is the author of 'Atlantic in Global History 1500-2000 ', published 2006 under ISBN 9780131927148 and ISBN 0131927140.
