s Atlantic History workshop "ReCapricorning the Atlantic: Luso-Brazilian and Luso-African Perspectives on the Atlantic World." Th e workshop and this special volume's title is a twist on Andre Gunder Frank's Re Orient: Global Economy in the Asian Age (Berkeley: University of California Press, 1998) in which the renowned economic historian argued that Asia had been the hub of the global economy through the early modern period and that a Johnnycome-lately Europe "used its American money to buy itself a ticket on the Asian train" aft er 1800 to "temporarily" become the new hub of global trade (p. xxv). Frank's interest in Asia's role in the global economy was a significant departure from his earlier work which had focused on exploring Portuguese and Spanish America's underdevelopment within the frameworks of dependency and world systems theory. "ReCapricorning the Atlantic" returns to the site of Frank's earlier work to consider a similar reorientation based on perspectives centered around the Tropic of Capricorn within a body of scholarship that has come to be known as "Atlantic History." Th e South Atlantic was the economic hub and arguably the most signifi cant formative matrix of the early modern European colonial enterprise in Africa and the Americas. Yet to date, most Atlantic history has focused on the British and to a somewhat lesser extent, French Empires and their remnants in the Americas and Africa. Th is "North Atlantic-centrism" is refl ected in many classic titles in Atlantic History that conceal their much more limited geographic emphases in terms of primary research (e.g., David Eltis
