Description: This innovative volume brings together original essays by leading historians of the Atlantic World, representing the latest developments in historiography of the colonial era. The volume takes a comparative approach, with individual essays examining governance in British, Portuguese, French, Dutch and Native America. Some of the essays look at the relationships between imperial centers and colonial peripheries, others examine interactions and experiences of people at the peripheries of their respective empires, including Native Americans, African Americans, and Euroamericans. No other book collects essays on all of the New World empires in one volume.
