Readings in Atlantic Hist

3 Credits · Level: Graduate, Undergraduate

Drawing together the four continents surrounding the Atlantic ocean as a linked unit of historical analysis, Atlantic history was one of the first fields to take a deliberately transregional approach to the study of the past. History 702 explores the history of the Atlantic world from early interactions in the fifteenth century through the era of abolition in the nineteenth century. It offers both a rough chronological survey of some of the main topics in the field and a sampling of the approaches and methodologies employed by scholars.
