Atlantic Studies provides an international forum for research and debate on historical, cultural and literary issues arising within the new disciplinary matrix of the circumatlantic world. In particular, it seeks to foster a transcultural dialogue between the two hemispheres and, specifically, among the nations of Europe, the Americas and Africa.The Journal aims to study the cartographic space of the Atlantic as it emerged in the early modern period, up to the present day: a highly critical space, centered not on a single nation or land mass but on a new cosmopolitan interchange of land and sea, ships and peoples, cultures and texts, ideas and tools.Published on behalf of MESEA (The Society for Multi-Ethnic Studies: Europe and the Americas), the Journal aims to be an important site for scholarship on the intercultural and transcultural perspective study of multi-ethnic cultures and societies. It challenges nationalist histories and literatures by focusing on the Atlantic as an arena of cultural change and exchange, translation and interference, communication and passage.Atlantic Studies accordingly invites submissions in the areas of history, cultural studies, critical theory, and literature from academics, public intellectuals, contemporary commentators, and activists whose focus of interest lies in circumatlantic perspectives. It also invites special guest-edited issues featuring essays on a single Atlantic theme. The Journal will also publish work based on such visual materials as photography, film, and information media. Each volume will also include book reviews.Atlantic Studies encourages both scholarly research and timely critical debate on current issues within its chosen paradigm. In as much as they develop a circumatlantic, transatlantic, or cisatlantic perspective, essays on race, class, gender, ethnicity and on human rights, citizenship and identity politics will also be welcomed.Peer Review Policy All research articles in this journal have undergone rigorous peer review, based on initial screening by our editorial board and followed by a further critical reading by two anonymous referees.DisclaimerTaylor & Francis makes every effort to ensure the accuracy of all the information (the 8220;Content8221;) contained in its publications.
