Early Americans were intrinsically linked to global networks of commerce, information exchange, and migration that extended around the Atlantic world–including Europe, Africa, the Caribbean, and Central and South America–and to the Pacific Rim and Asia. Events or circumstances in one location, or on one continent, shaped and were shaped by those in others. The articles in this resource guide were chosen for keywords related to transatlantic cultures, and African and Asian societies. They remind us that early Americans were part of a larger, Atlantic and global mosaic.
