Description
An Aqueous Territory: Sailor Geographies and New Granada's Transimperial Greater Caribbean World
Ernesto Bassi explores the complex geography of the transimperial Greater Caribbean between 1760 and 1860, focusing on the Caribbean coast of present-day Colombia. This region was not defined by traditional borders, but rather by the cross-border activities of sailors, traders, revolutionaries, indigenous peoples, and others.
The islands, continental coasts, and open waters of this space were inhabited by people who identified with multiple empires and cultures, including Spanish, British, French, Dutch, Danish, Anglo-American, African, and indigenous. Bassi's work challenges our understanding of the emergence of nation-states and provides insights into how people envision their own futures and make sense of their place in the world.
