Changing Landscapes in the Atlantic World: Cultures, Societies, Exchanges, and Conflict from 1492 to 1877 provides students with a compilation of secondary writings that discuss the cultural, political, and economic developments of the United States within the Western Atlantic world from European conquest through U.S. Reconstruction. The opening chapter explores the early political aspirations in the Americas and how they factored substantially into the development of the identity of the United States. Chapter 2 addresses the cultural and social developments and interchanges between indigenous Americans, Europeans, and Africans in the Western Atlantic world and the U.S. as the region took on a more diverse identity. In the final chapter, students read about the colonial economic aims in the Americas and how those objectives shaped the development of an economic engine that supported the rise of the American empire. Providing unique and thought-provoking lenses through which to study history, Changing Landscapes in the Atlantic World is an ideal text for American history survey courses.
