HIST 358 - The Atlantic World


Units: 3
Three hours lecture per week
Examines the connections and exchanges that shaped the history of the Atlantic Ocean and the four continents which border it (Europe, Africa, North America, and South America). It traces the voluntary and involuntary movements of humans, animals, microbes, goods, and ideas that travelled along the entangled imperial networks of the Atlantic World from the 1400s to the 1800s. In particular, it focuses on the interactions that took place in oceanic spaces and coastal communities, serving as a reminder that human history is not exclusively land-based.
