Evoking the remarkable complexity created by the bridging of the Atlantic Ocean, Colonial North America and the Atlantic World suggests that the challenges of globalization–and the growing reality of American diversity–are among the most important legacies of the colonial world.
This collection investigates how the diverse interactions between Amerindian, African, and European populations shaped the early modern Atlantic world. Authors Brett Rushforth and Paul Mapp utilize a vast array of primary source documents to illustrate the lived experiences of individuals during the colonial era. By centering the voices of those who forged this new world, the text argues that the complexities of early globalization and cultural diversity remain the most significant legacies of the colonial period.
What You Will Find
The text serves as a rigorous academic resource for students and scholars seeking to engage directly with the primary voices of early American history. Its structured approach to historical documentation provides a clear, multifaceted view of the colonial experience that avoids singular, monolithic narratives.
