A symposium for SHA

The Caribbean and Colonies of North America: Maritime Links in the Chain
of Commerse.  (Working Title)


I am in the process of organizing a symposium for the SHA conference at
Williamsburg. The objective is to assemble related papers exploring issues
of Atlantic economy connecting peripherey to periphery in the world system
context. Papers concerning plantation settlement, inter-colonial exchange,
communication networks of Europeans or Africans, and papers addressing
Maritime archaeology are especially welcome.
A second goal is to presenta framework for comparative studies focused on
trade and development along colonial corridors.

If interested, have questions or suggestions, please contact me in the
next two weeks.

Thank you,
