Encounters among the peoples of the Atlantic World in the early modern period provide a wide-ranging perspective on nearly all aspects of society. Interactions occurred at many levels - among races, nationalities, and ethnic, regional, religious, and linguistic groups - with influences and modifications that spread in multiple directions, not only from East to West and European to indigenous peoples. The essays in this volume are designed to suggest the great variety of these cultural encounters and to offer a basis for a comparative analysis of the ways in which the peoples of the Atlantic basin interacted during the period of exploration, migration, and settlement.
