"British America" as a book category covers the peoples, places, institutions and cultures of the parts of the Americas under British rule and influence—primarily the English/British colonies in North America (the Thirteen Colonies, Newfoundland, the Maritimes and later British North America/Canada), the Caribbean (the British West Indies and Bermuda), and other Atlantic possessions such as British Guiana—roughly from early settlement and imperial expansion in the 16th–17th centuries through the upheavals of the American Revolution and into the nineteenth-century imperial era. It embraces scholarly and popular histories, political and legal studies, economic and maritime accounts (trade, plantation slavery, mercantilism), social and cultural histories (migration, gender, religion, indigenous and African experiences), travel writing, memoirs, maps and diplomatic records, as well as historical fiction and biography set in that milieu. The category signals a focus on British colonial governance, imperial networks, intercultural contact and conflict, and the transatlantic forces that shaped the peoples and landscapes of the Atlantic world under British authority.
