The Specter of Peace: Rethinking Violence and Power in the Colonial Atlantic

By John Smolenski and Michael Goode

Specter of Peace challenges historians to take peace as seriously as violence. Early American peacemaking was a productive discourse of moral ordering fundamentally concerned with regulating violence. Histories of peacemaking, the volume argues, sharpens our understanding of colonialism and empire.
