Book Description
Not only were more African slaves transported to South America than to North, but overlapping imperialisms and shared resistance to them have linked Africa, Latin America, and the Caribbean for over five centuries. Yet despite the rise in transatlantic, oceanic, hemispheric, and regional studies, and even the growing interest in South-South connections, the South Atlantic has not yet emerged as a site that captures the attention it deserves. The Global South Atlantic traces literary exchanges and interlaced networks of communication and investment—financial, political, socio-cultural, libidinal—across and around the southern ocean. Bringing together scholars working in a range of languages, from Spanish to Arabic, the book shows the range of ways people, governments, political movements, social imaginaries, cultural artefacts, goods, and markets cross the South Atlantic, or sometimes fail to cross. As a region made up of multiple intersecting regions, and as a vision made up of complementary and competing visions, the South Atlantic can only be understood comparatively. Exploring the Atlantic as an effect of structures of power and knowledge that issue from the Global South as much as from Europe and North America, The Global South Atlantic helps to rebalance global literary studies by making visible a multi-textured South Atlantic system that is neither singular nor stable.

South Atlantic Capsize

Pages : 178
Book Description
In January 2014 the 38ft sailboat "Black Cat" set out to race across the South Atlantic Ocean in the Cape to Rio Race. On the second day of the race they broke their rudder while surfing at 22 knots and were subsequently capsized by a massive wave in a big storm. This book tells the story of the race, the boat, the crew and what happened on that day, how crew, food and equipment were thrown around the interior, what happened to the crewman who was in the cockpit at the time, what damage was done to the boat and what the crew did to cope with and recover from the situation in which they found themselves.

Meso-Cenozoic Brazilian Offshore Magmatism
Author: Anderson Costa Dos Santos
Publisher: Academic Press
ISBN: 0128242418
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 514
Book Description
Meso-Cenozoic Brazilian Offshore Magmatism: Geochemistry, Petrology and Tectonics presents detailed studies from different points-of-view on the geological—particularly magmatic—evolution of the Brazilian and South Atlantic Ocean offshore areas. This comprehensive book on geological events will help readers understand the holistic evolution of the area across geographical boundaries. Each chapter consists of an introduction, regional and local geology, methods, results, discussions, conclusions and supplementary material related to the geological development in island and seamounts in the Brazilian Platform and seafloor. - Integrates independent studies and research of the Brazilian offshore magmatism and tectonics into a single book - Includes new seamount and island data that was previously unavailable to the public - Introduces case studies to provide real-world examples of volcanism and scientific evolution

Atlantic Environments and the American South
Author: Thomas Blake Earle
Publisher: University of Georgia Press
ISBN: 0820356476
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 242
Book Description
There is clear overlap in interests and influences for the fields of Atlantic, environmental, and southern history, but scholarship in them has often advanced on parallel tracks. This anthology places itself at the intersection, pushing for a new confluence. Editors Thomas Blake Earle and D. Andrew Johnson provide a lucid introduction to this collection of essays that brings these disciplines together. With this volume, historians explore crucial insights into a self-consciously Atlantic environmental history of the American South, touching on such topics as ideas about slavery, gender, climate, “colonial ecological revolution,” manipulation of the landscape, infrastructure, resources, and exploitation. By centering this project on a region, the American South—defined as the southeastern reaches of North America and the Caribbean— the authors interrogate how European colonizers, Native Americans, and Africans interacted in and with the (sub)tropics, a place foreign to Europeans. Challenging the concepts of “Atlantic” and “southern” and their intersection with “environments” is a discipline-defining strategy at the leading edge of emerging scholarship. Taken collectively, this book should encourage more readers to reimagine this region, its time periods, climate(s), and ecocultural networks.
