57,95 inkl. MwSt
This book explores formation of commercial and political networks that altered the face of the Atlantic world and the early American republics.
This groundbreaking work explores the important role of the 18th century masonic movement in transAtlantic trade, politics, and social development. It offers important new insight into the role of freemasonry in forming international trade networks, its role in organizing resistance to British rule in the American colonies, and masonry’s role in the development of Haiti, the wider Caribbean, and the African Atlantic. With special focus on the vibrant international masonic networks emanating from Boston and Saint Domingue, this book explores the formation of commercial and political networks that altered the face of the Atlantic world and the early American republics.

Hans Schwartz earned his doctorate in Atlantic World and early American history from Clark University and his masters in history from Salem State University. He has presented papers at the Annual Meeting of the American Historical Association, the German Historical Institute, and the Ars Quoatuor Coronati conference, among others, and has published chapters in several books on freemasonry. As a professor, he has taught at institutions including Northeastern, Clark, and Endicott College as well as in Japan.
