This textbook supports the course, Atlantic Encounters , which introduces students to the peoples and traditions that gave birth to the multicultural Atlantic world of the early modern period (roughly 1450-1850). Particular attention is given to the cultural encounters of peoples from Africa, Europe, and the Americas; the rise of modern "ways of knowing" and the authority structures and cultures shaping knowledge; and the emergence of trans-Atlantic traditions of liberty and slavery.
