Items related to Europeans Engaging the Atlantic – Knowledge...
Europeans Engaging the Atlantic offers innovative perspectives on historical European knowledge concerning the "New World" and also on trade and commerce with it. In so doing, it enhances our understanding of how, when, and why early modern Europeans made sense of the Atlantic world, and how they tried to connect with Atlantic trade and commerce. Featuring case studies that discuss these issues from the sixteenth to the eighteenth centuries, this volume explores both the degree to which the Atlantic was (or was not) part of the European worldview-or just one part of a worldview with many centers of interest-and how European engagement with the Atlantic world evolved.

Review:
"Lachenicht s edited collection examines the relationship between Europe and the Atlantic World during the early modern period. In an attempt to balance out the plethora of studies that center on American, British, Spanish, French, and Dutch impacts in the Caribbean, the essays in this volume focus on European regions and peoples that at first glance seem to have had little impact and interaction with the Atlantic World. . . . The collection makes a strong case that different 'Atlantic Worlds' existed in the minds of Europeans, but that by the mid-eighteenth century a more stable and acknowledged understanding of the region emerged. . . . By moving the lens to lesser-known actors, Lachenicht has provided a fuller picture of the Atlantic World as a field of study and analysis. . . . Highly recommended."--J. Rankin, East Tennessee State University "Choice ""

Book Description Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - Was wussten die Menschen in Europa in der Zeit zwischen 1500 und 1800 über die »fernen Welten« jenseits des Atlantiks Und wie suchten sie, sich dieses Wissen zunutze zu machen In der internationalen Forschung zur atlantischen Geschichte haben in den vergangenen Jahren Wissenswelten und Wirtschaftsbeziehungen auch jenseits der Anrainerstaaten dieses Ozeans an Interesse gewonnen. Der Band stellt ausgewählte Arbeiten zu diesen Themen vor; sie werfen ein neues Licht auf die Entstehung und Vernetzung von Märkten und Menschen in der Zeit nach 1492, die man heute oft als Phase der Globalisierung versteht.
