(12 months)
Through a conference, this project will foster conversation among 24 scholars about connections between the Atlantic and Indian Ocean worlds in the early modern world. The conference papers and commentaries will be revised and edited for publication as a book, which we hope will be among the first, but not the last, publications to bridge the scholarly divide between British Asia and the British Atlantic in the early modern era. |
