About This Journal
Traversea: The Journal of Transatlantic History was a peer-reviewed online journal operated by doctoral students as a joint project between the Transatlantic History Student Organization and the Transatlantic History Ph.D. Program at the University of Texas at Arlington. Traversea: The Journal of Transatlantic History was dedicated to the publication of research in transatlantic history. Transatlantic history pertains to the interconnectedness of human experience and cross-cultural encounters of Europe, Africa, and the Americas (North and South) from the 1400s to the present. Transatlantic history is inherently interdisciplinary, transnational, and comparative in approach and moves beyond the boundaries imposed by the concept of the nation state. The editors invited submissions that were historical, geographical, anthropological, literary, sociological, and cartographic in nature.
