History

COLONIAL

IDENTITY 

IN

THE

ATLANTIC 

WORLD

The

very 

absence 

of

discussion 

of

major 

issues 

like 

these 

is

an

indication

of

the

pioneering 

quality 

of

these 

essays. 

All

too

often 

where 

they 

fall 

silent

it

is

because 

the

research 

has

never 

been 

done. 

But

they 

perform 

the

great

service 

of

bringing 

on

to

center 

stage 

the

fascinating 

question 

of

self-image

in

the

infinitely 

complicated 

history 

of

the

triangular 

relationship 

of

mother 

country, 

colonists, 

and

subject 

populations 

during 

the

age

of

Atlan-

tic

colonization 

and

settlement. 

In

this 

period, 

"holding 

on"

and

"breaking

away" 

were 

for

a

long 

time 

half-options 

in

which 

profit 

and

loss, 

hope 

and

disillusionment, 

interest 

and

risk 

endlessly 

counterbalanced 

each 

other 

in

uneasy 

equilibrium. 

In

some 

of

these 

societies 

there 

were 

conspiracies 

and

rebellions—however 

unsuccessful—against 

the

dominance 

of

the

mother

country. 

In

others 

there 

were 

not. 

"Breaking 

away" 

had

first 

to

be

thought

before 

it

could 

happen, 

and

the

unthinkable 

would 

not

have 

become 

think-

able 

without 

a

prior 

process 

of

self-definition. 

It

is

this 

process 

of

self-defi-

nition, 

sometimes 

advancing, 

sometimes 

regressing, 

but

never 

static, 

that

the

contributors 

have 

sought 

to

analyze.
