In the seventeenth century, the Atlantic islands Madeira, the Azores, and the Cape Verdes played a pivotal role in shaping the history of commerce and navigation. Despite their small size and population, these islands were critical nodes in the vast Atlantic basin. The book traces the intricate trade networks, maritime routes, and cultural exchanges that defined this era. Through Duncan's lens, readers gain insight into the dynamic interplay between these islands and the broader world, revealing a fascinating tapestry of exploration, trade, and human interaction. Duncan sheds light on the economic complexities of these islands during the seventeenth century. His exploration extends beyond mere commerce, encompassing the intricate web of relationships between European powers, indigenous peoples, and African slaves. By examining trade patterns, commodities, and the impact of colonialism, Duncan paints a vivid picture of the Atlantic islands as vibrant hubs of exchange. His meticulous research draws from historical records, archival sources, and navigational charts, providing a comprehensive view of the economic landscape during this transformative period. Atlantic Islands invites readers to traverse the maritime highways of the past, where ships laden with sugar, wine, and exotic goods crisscrossed the Atlantic. Duncan's prose captures the spirit of exploration, the thrill of discovery, and the challenges faced by seafarers navigating uncharted waters.
