This is a seminal collection that over the years will provide both inspiration and guidance to those striving to understand the 'how' and 'why' of imperialism and imperial historiography.
The popularity of Atlantic history is proven by a stream of publications in recent years, but few have attained the quality of this excellent collection.
The contributors and editors have done us a great service by bringing together in one volume some of the more creative and novel approaches to Atlantic history.
A fine collection.
Beautifully set up... and provides tantalizing insights.
A valuable contribution to transatlantic studies.
This book — written for the most part by Greene's former students — is both a tribute to and recognition of Greene's ambiguous legacy.
A collection of superb essays.
This volume offers what readers have come to expect from publishing houses such as Johns Hopkins University Press, namely solid and reliable scholarship... a valuable contribution.
