Opis

Unlike most books on the Atlantic that associate its history with European colonialism and thus end in 1800, this volume demonstrates that the connections not only outlasted colonialism, they also reached unprecedented levels in postcolonial times, when the Atlantic truly became the world’s major crossroads and dominant economy.
