O knihe

The Atlantic community seems to be in crisis and it is time to critically rethink past narratives and traditional frameworks of transatlantic relations. Exploring the historiography and legacies of the Atlantic World, contributors open up new, transnational, and global perspectives, helping us to better understand the TransAtlantic today. The TransAtlantic reconsidered brings together leading experts including Harvard historians Charles S. Maier and Bernard Bailyn along with former ERC scientific board member Nicholas Canny among others. All the scholars represented in this volume have helped to shape, re-shape, and challenge the narrative(s) of the Atlantic World and can thus (re-)evaluate its conceptual basis in view of historiographical developments and contemporary challenges. This volume thus documents and reflects on the changes within Transatlantic Studies during the last decades. New perspectives on research re-conceptualise how we think about the Atlantic World. This book speaks to an interested public as much as to the student and the scholar. Anyone teaching History, Political Sciences and International Relations will find this book an evocative overview of key developments in Transatlantic Studies and Atlantic History. A firm grasp of the history and the historiography of these fields can inform our better understanding of an Atlantic World today.
