Recent decades have seen many economic history books and articles published about working men and women, small and big entrepreneurs, guilds and state manufactures, farmers and journeymen, and children and citizens.

ANNOUNCEMENT
The 8th Biannual conference of the European Early American Studies Association invites established scholars, post-doctoral students and graduate students to re-examine the fundamental concept of Atlantic history in light of current research on the themes of colonisations, revolutions, and reinventions, from 1492 to 1848. It is also an opportunity to examine the history of transformations in early America and, broadly, the early modern world, by taking fuller account of scholarship on the politics of primitive globalisation.

organisé par le Centre d’histoire sociale des Mondes contemporains (Université Paris 1), le Laboratoire Triangle (Université Lyon 2) et lui-même,
