The West Indies in the Seventeenth Century

Beschreibung

This history of the 'Torrid Zone' offers a comprehensive and powerfully rich exploration of the 17th century Anglophone Atlantic world, overturning British and American historiographies and offering instead a vernacular history that skillfully negotiates diverse locations, periodizations, and the fraught waters of ethnicity and gender.

Rezensionen

"Sarah Barber's examination of what was called the 'torrid zone' between Carolina and the sun-drenched islands near the equator brings what life was during the seventeenth century there in a way that is both concise and complete. This is a book will be a valuable addition to the libraries of researchers trying to construct a fuller picture of who those original settlers of Carolina were. ... Barber's book is a slim volume, but one packed with valuable information." (Carolina Chronicles Magazine, June, 2016)
