Routledge Research in Atlantic Studies


About the Series

This series joins with the journal Atlantic Studies in providing an international forum for research on historical, cultural, and literary issues arising within the new, disciplinary matrix of the circumatlantic world. In particular, it seeks to foster a transcultural dialogue between the two hemispheres, among the nations of Europe, the Americas, and Africa. The series editor invites the work of scholars from many disciplines--history, cultural studies, critical theory, and literature--who seek to probe the highly critical space of the Atlantic, centered not on a single nation or land mass but on a new cosmopolitan interchange of ships and peoples, cultures and texts, ideas and tools.
