Product Description
This text gathers an international team of historians to present a comprehensive account of the central themes in the histories of Britain, British America and the British Caribbean seen in Atlantic perspective: the state, empire, migration, the economy, religion, race, class, gender, politics and slavery. Together, the essays should be a primary resource for students and teachers and a stimulus to researchers in British, American, imperial and Atlantic history more generally.
