Focusing on the Caribbean coast of New Granada (present-day Colombia), Bassi shows that the region's residents did not live their lives bounded by geopolitical borders. Rather, the cross-border activities of sailors, traders, revolutionaries, indigenous peoples, and others reflected their perceptions of the Caribbean as a transimperial space where trade, information, and people circulated, both conforming to and in defiance of imperial regulations. Bassi demonstrates that the islands, continental coasts, and open waters of the transimperial Greater Caribbean constituted a space that was simultaneously Spanish, British, French, Dutch, Danish, Anglo-American, African, and indigenous. 606 $aHistory / Latin America$2bisacsh 606 $aHistory 615 7$aHistory / Latin America 615 0$aHistory 700 $aBassi$b Ernesto$01452514 801 0$bScCtBLL 801 1$bScCtBLL 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910765718703321 996 $aAn Aqueous Territory$93654156 997 $aUNINA
