Transnationalism | Historiography

Many people did transcend national borders though, especially through the spread of ideas and movements. International history is about how nations interact, while comparative history compares different nations, but transnationalism is about how things transcend individual nations, interlinking them through cultural diffusion. Borderlands history looks at areas where there is competing or layered sovereignty, as in the negotiation of disputed areas, complex cultural interactions, and how nations mix by crossing borders. Maritime history does a similar thing with the inherently borderless space of water. Intellectual history especially has adopted transnationalism in recent years, such as how the Atlantic Revolutions of the late-eighteenth and early-nineteenth centuries built off of one another. There’s also many histories of how certain places like port cities are inherently more similar to each other, and therefore more cosmopolitan.

"you are a colonial America buff. I am an Atlantic Historian who understands that you cannot discuss Colonial America without discussing the interactions of all the actors in the Atlantic World. We are not the same."
