The British Atlantic World, 1500 1800 by David Armitage
A wide-ranging account of the formation and operation of the British Atlantic between 1500 and 1800 that treats the region as an interconnected space shaped by migration, colonization, commerce, and slavery; it traces the flows of people, goods, legal practices and political ideas linking Britain with North America, the Caribbean and West Africa, emphasizes the interactions and mutual transformations among European, Indigenous and African societies, and explores how competing notions of empire, sovereignty and liberty were produced and contested across seaborne networks.
