"Bridging the Early Modern Atlantic World" brings in the same time ten original essays by an international group of scholars exploring the complicate outcomes of the intermingling of people, circulation of goods, exchange of infor>mation, and exposure to new ideas that are the hallmark of the forward modern Atlantic. Spanning the period from the earliest French crossings to Newfoundland at the origin of the sixteenth century to the end of the wars of non-dependence in Spanish South America, c. 1830, and encompassing a range of disciplinary approaches, the contributors categorical particular attention to regions, communities, and groups whose activities in, and responses to, some ever-more closely bound Atlantic world remain relatively under-represented in the lore.

Some of the chapters focus on the experience of Europeans, including French consumers of Newfoundland cod, English merchants forming families in Spanish Seville, and Jewish refugees from Dutch Brazil composition the Caribbean island of Nevis their home. Others focus on the ways in that the populations with whom Europeans came into contact, enslaved, or in the midst of whom they settled - the Tupi peoples of Brazil, the Kriston women of the occidental African port of Cacheu, among others - adapted to and were changed through their interactions with previously unknown peoples, goods, institutions, and ideas. Together with the substantial Introduction by the editor which reviews the significance of the range as a whole, these essays capture the complexity and variety of actual observation of the countless men and women who came into contact for the period of the period, whilst highlighting and illustrating the porous and fluid soul of the universe, in practice, of the Early Modern Atlantic World.
