Click to increase image sizeClick to decrease image size Notes David Armitage and Michael Braddick, eds., The British Atlantic World, 1500–1800 (New York: Palgrave Macmillan, 2002), 11. See, for example, the essays in Armitage and Braddick, eds., The British Atlantic World; and the four essays published in Itinerario (32) in 1999, in which Carla Rahn Phillips wrote on the Spanish, Silvia Marzagalli on the French, Willem W. Klooster and Pieter C. Emmer on the Dutch and David Hancock on the English. The idea originated in MacLeod, Spanish Central America: A Socioeconomic History, 1520–1720 (Austin, TX: University of Texas Press, 2008). Jack P. Greene and Philip D. Morgan, eds., Atlantic History: A Critical Appraisal (New York: Oxford University Press, 2008), chap. 6. On this subject of connections, see some of the essays in Caroline A. Williams, ed., Bridging the Early Modern Atlantic World: People, Products, and Practices on the Move (Burlington, VT: Ashgate Publishing Company, 2009). The pioneering work on what a radical Atlantic might look like is Peter Linebaugh and Marcus Rediker, The Many-Headed Hydra: Sailors, Slaves, Commoners and the Hidden History of the Revolutionary Atlantic (Boston: Beacon Press, 2001). The works of John K. Thornton and Linda M. Heywood provide clues about what a Kongo Atlantic might look like. See, for example, Central Africans, Atlantic Creoles, and the Foundation of the Americas, 1585–1660 (New York: Cambridge University Press, 2007). Jack P. Greene and Philip D.
