With an introduction by Wim Klooster, the four sets of paired essays examine the role of specific port cities in Atlantic history, aspects of European migration, the African dimension, and ways in which the Atlantic world has been imagined.

Alfred Padula began his professional career as a servitor of the Cold War, first in Naval Intelligence and thereafter in the State Department. His work as Cuban analyst precipitated a lifelong interest in that country. Receipt of a Ford Foundation Fellowship for the Study of Revolutions led him into academia, specifically at the University of Southern Maine (USM) in the seaport city of Portland, where he could also indulge his interests as a small boat sailor. At USM, Professor Padula taught Latin American history, and produced numerous papers, reviews, and articles on Cuban issues, climaxing in a volume on women and the Cuban revolution: Sex and Revolution. Women in Socialist Cuba (Oxford, 1995).
