From the time of the Vikings to the Cold War and its aftermath, ABC-CLIO's Transatlantic Relations series examines how Europe and Africa helped forge the New World and how the Americas in turn came to shape the destiny of their transatlantic cousins.
Leif Eriksson. Christopher Columbus. Simón Bolívar. Marcus Garvey. Such figures symbolize the close ties between the Americas on one hand and Europe and Africa on the other. How have these European and African origins helped define the subsequent course of transatlantic history? Transatlantic Relations explores the fascinating legacy of the New World's transatlantic roots.
Whether one thinks of the Pilgrim fathers, the slave trade, or the Cold War, the cultural and political impact of Europe and Africa on the Americas, and vice versa, has been profound. ABC-CLIO's Transatlantic Relations series examines the historical importance of key interactions among the nations and cultures of the Atlantic Rim.
Leading scholars from such fields as history, politics, international relations, and the humanities take a multidisciplinary approach to specific areas of study related to transatlantic encounters. The time frame covered by each of the three-volume sets is from first contact to the present day. The A–Z format allows quick and easy reference to the key events, personalities, and socioeconomic trends that helped shape the course of transatlantic history.
