Transatlantic History offers a comprehensive look at the early 
stages of Atlantic exploration, the subsequent cultural exchange 
among Africans, Native Americans, and Europeans, and the resulting 
emergence of a modern global community. Through comparative 
analyses, scholarly investigations, and multidisciplinary approaches, 
this volume contributes to the growing field of transatlantic history, 
addressing issues of cartographic representation, creolization, 
economic modernization, urbanization, and migration. The chapters 
and their authors include:

• "Transatlantic History in World Perspective," by William H. McNeill
• "Economy and Society in the Iberian Atlantic: The Seventeenth-
Century Crisis," by Carla Rahn Philips
• "Establishing a Transatlantic Graphic Dialogue, 1492–1800," by 
Dennis Reinhartz
• "Urbanization in the Old World and in the New," by David Buisseret
• "The Power of Numbers: Settler and Native in Ireland, America, and 
South Africa, 1600–1900," by Stanley H. Palmer
• "In Search of America: The New West African Diaspora," by 
Alusine Jalloh

    As a whole, the volume embraces a wide range of academic 
disciplines and fields in order to highlight Atlantic interconnections 
in unique ways. Readers interested in world history and 
communication studies, as well as those wanting to learn more about 
the cultural tapestry that continues to weave the continents together, 
will find these scholars' contributions rewarding.
