Tyson Reeder. Smugglers, Pirates, and Patriots
Making big claims is often how historical knowledge advances, and authors like Tyson Reeder are right to push historiographical and national boundaries. In this case, however, the argument is bigger than the evidence warrants, and as a result the book falls back upon American—that is, the United States—ideals of republicanism as an organizing principle. As a result, more than anything else, Smugglers, Pirates, and Patriots: Free Trade in the Age …

Smuggling and Its Malcontents
Encounters Old and New in World History
This collection of essays asserts the specific value of world history research and teaching, showing how the field contributes to the larger historical profession and offering concrete suggestions to develop more interaction between the academy and the public. The twelve contributors, each with their own academic areas of interest, are experienced scholars and classroom teachers. Uniting them together in this volume is their professional relation…
The Caribbean region
This chapter proposes a linked sequence of vignettes, chosen to highlight some typical early-modern forms of encounter and transition, while suggesting the diversity of responses. It explores how the rise of early-modern silver trade affected technological practices and meanings at different points along the global network. The chapter deals with China to consider transitions in its biggest industry, textiles and the impact of China's own 'cotton…
The Atlantic Ocean Basin
This article argues that historians ought to have two main goals: reconstructing the past in a way that demonstrates how those who lived life in times before our own understood and interacted with the world that they inhabited and ascribing meaning to these past experiences so that they are relevant to those in the present. Atlantic history, at least for the last few decades, has held out tremendous potential for modern world historians. This art…

Seascapes
Historians have only recently begun to chart the experiences of maritime regions in rich detail and penetrate the historical processes at work there. Seascapes makes a major contribution to these efforts by bringing together original scholarship on historical issues arising from maritime regions around the world.The essays presented here take a variety of approaches. One group examines the material, cultural, and intellectual constructs that info…

Toussaint's Clause
Interactions
The essays presented here reflect recent widespread interest in reconsidering the political, geographical, and cultural boundaries conventionally observed by area specialists and others. They intentionally range widely through time and space, dealing with diverse issues and contexts, but each highlights the very general theme of cross-cultural interaction. Although they draw heavily on area studies, the contributors seek to put previously separat…
Tropical Babylons
This essay collection merits scholarly attention. That said, neither the introduction nor the essays provide a new conceptualization of either the Atlantic world or sugar's contribution to it. Indeed, the essays are, with some exceptions, mostly rooted in the more familiar terrain of national and imperial historiographies. Scholars who want to learn more about the Atlantic world's implantation phase, however, can glean some valuable information a…
Beyond Slavery
This journal's readers are well served by Beyond Slavery. Consisting of three case studies from across the Atlantic world, the book provides a powerful, if unsystematic, exploration of the connections between classical political economy, race, class, gender, and labor. The book suggests that the experiences of emancipated slaves in the British Caribbean, Cuba, Louisiana, and French West Africa are useful in understanding states rooted in universa…
Scottish Emigration to Colonial America, 1607-1785
Sojourners in the Sun
Atlantic American Societies
Within the chronological framework of Implantation, Maturation and Transition, this book provides the history of European expansion in the Americas from the age of Columbus through the abolition of slavery. Suggesting a shift in the traditional units of analysis away from nationally defined boundaries, this volume considers all of the Americas - and Africa - to encourage students to see the larger interimperial issues which governed behaviour in …

The World of Alexander Johnston
Eighteenth-century Jamaica, the 'devil of a country' to which Dr Alexander Johnston referred, seems an unlikely candidate, at the historian's first glance, for consternation. Today's visitor would find that the 'Garden Parish', St Ann's, truly exudes everything warm and wonderful associated with tropical stereotypes. Yet two hundred years ago Dr Alexander Johnston, 'Practitioner of Physick and Chiurgery' rarely observed this very paradise, the fo…
