Encountering the Global in Early Modern Germany

An exacting re-examination of early modern Germany’s entanglement with European colonial projects, Encountering the Global in Early Modern Germany provides a much-needed global perspective on the colonial “cult of connections” that underpinned early modern Germany’s social, religious, and material culture.

Global history has come of age but has had little impact on the historiography of early modern Germany. This volume seeks to bring a global perspective to the history of Central Europe by addressing understudied global and colonial entanglements. Exploring the impact of these interactions on court life and home towns, labor migration, material culture, and religious communities, the microhistories presented here reveal the myriad ways in which connections and disconnections underpinned early modern Germany. The authors engage with contemporary debates about global history in general, taking its lacunae as a cue for substantial methodological revisions.
