"Envisioning Empire: Jamestown and the Emergence of a North Atlantic World."
An anthology of essays, with an Introduction by Constance Jordan and an Afterword by Karen Kupperman, with an informally committed publisher. We are focusing both on a particular time and place (Jamestown 1607) and on the global context of colonization in the Atlantic World. We have essays commissioned on the choice of the Jamestown Site, the politics of the Virginia Company, the Irish Question, Spanish colonial experiments and the Black Legend, literary representations of the Ottoman Empire, Aphra Behn, geography and mapmaking, conflicts among the Iroquois and French, and hunger and food systems among the English and the Powhatan Indians. We would particularly welcome additions on early colonialist ideology (including Hakluyt), the settlement of Florida, the slave trade, indentured servitude, the plantation revolution, sugar trade and the West Indies, and international relations among the English, Portuguese, Dutch, French, and African Creoles. New research on the comparative ethnography of the Americas or comparative representations of the Americas would be welcome as well. This is a multi-disciplinary volume, with contributions from cultural historians, literary critics, post-colonial theorists, and archaeologists.
