The Atlantic World

As the meeting point between Europe, colonial America, and Africa, the history of the Atlantic world is a constantly shifting arena, but one which has been a focus of huge and vibrant debate for many years. In over thirty chapters, all written by experts in the field, The Atlantic World takes up these debates and gathers together key, original scholarship to provide an authoritative survey of this increasingly popular area of world history. Including an introduction and afterword from the editors which define the field, and lavishly illustrated with paintings, drawings and maps this volume is invaluable reading for all students and scholars of this broad sweep of world history.
