Agents Of European Overseas Empires - Private Colonisers, 1450-1800

~~43,17€~~ 38,85€ 10% OFF

 <i>Agents of European overseas empires</i> involves contributors who specialise on often overlooked aspects of imperial endeavour: ‘private’ European interests, companies, merchants or courtiers, who conducted their own activities both with and without the benediction of polities. The chapters adopt intra- as well as inter-imperial perspectives and transport the reader to colonial America, the West Indies, the Cape of Good Hope, Batavia, or Ceylon, through the Dutch, English, French and Spanish empires. <i>Agents of European overseas empires</i> offers crucial insight on how these actors acquired profits and power and, in turn, laid the platforms for European global empires.
