About the work
Colonial Identity in the Atlantic World, 1500-1800 (ISBN 9780691008400) is a seminal examination of how European empires, African societies, and Indigenous communities negotiated power, culture, and belonging across oceans and continents. This work illuminates the dynamic processes by which colonial identities were formed, contested, and reshaped within the Atlantic world over three centuries.
Summary
The book traces the entangled histories of colonization, trade, religion, and social hierarchy, revealing how identities were constructed through networks of migration, exchange, and resistance. It examines case studies across the Caribbean, the Americas, Africa, and Europe to show how enslaved peoples, settlers, merchants, and officials contributed to a shifting mosaic of loyalties and affiliations, often blending and redefining themselves in response to imperial policies and local realities.
About the author
Nicholas Canny, a distinguished scholar of early modern Atlantic history, brings decades of rigorous archival research and theoretical insight to this work. As a leading figure in colonial and imperial studies, Canny synthesizes social, cultural, and political dimensions to illuminate how identities were negotiated in a world of contested sovereignty and global exchange. His scholarship is renowned for its depth, clarity, and capacity to connect micro-histories to broad historical arcs.
In brief
The book reveals how colonial identity in the Atlantic was not merely imposed but actively produced through cross-cultural encounters, economic networks, and political struggle across 1500–1800.
