Our understanding of rights, of what makes the individual an individual, of how to define a citizen versus a subject, of what states should or should not do, of how labour, politics, and trade would be organised, of the relationship between the church and the state, and of our attachment to the nation all derive from this period (c. 1750–1850).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHistorian Patrick Griffin shows that the Age of Atlantic Revolution was rooted in how people in an interconnected world struggled through violence, liberation, and war to reimagine themselves and sovereignty. Tying together the revolutions, crises, and conflicts that undid British North America, transformed France, created Haiti, overturned Latin America, challenged Britain and Europe, vexed Ireland, and marginalised West Africa, Griffin tells a transnational tale of how empires became nations and how our world came into being.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47000761041132,"sku":"9780300206333","price":71.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/24061073482294.jpg?v=1763302710","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.live\/products\/the-age-of-atlantic-revolution-by-patrick-griffin-9780300206333","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
