| Summary: | This anthology places itself at the intersection of Atlantic, environmental and Southern history, pushing for a new "confluence" of scholarship. There is clear overlap in interests and influences for these fields but they have proceeded, largely, on parallel tracks to-date. In their lucid introduction and throughout the collection, an emerging group of historians explore crucial insights that a self-consciously Atlantic environmental history of the American South can offer. By centering this project on a region, the American South, defined as the southeastern reaches of North America and the Caribbean, the authors interrogate ways in which European colonizers, Native Americans and Africans interacted in and with the (sub)tropics, a place foreign to Europeans. |
