This book is long overdue.\" -- Edward P. Pompeian * Journal of Social History *\u003cbr\u003e\"Because of the diversity of themes and nations covered by the volume, including identity, liberalism, slavery, industrialization, and Indigenous rights to name a few, it will appeal to multiple audiences. . . . In the end, \u003ci\u003eNew Countries\u003c\/i\u003e proposes an innovative, ambitious, and exciting framework to view the Age of Revolutions, the Atlantic World, and the path to liberalism and industrial capitalism.\" -- Erin Woodruff Stone * Canadian Journal of History *\u003cbr\u003e\"Historians of the United States will find this well-edited volume’s emphasis on the move in the hemisphere from diversity to consolidation, and on the common impact or effects of civil wars, abolitionism, and the imposition of racial exclusions and disabilities on large segments of national populations during the adjustment to world economy (as traced in a conclusion by Tutino and Langer) to be a useful way to rethink American exceptionalism and to think comparatively about the political and social effects of the global economy.\" -- Stuart B. Schwartz * Journal of American History *\u003cbr\u003e\"Seasoned teachers of the history of the Americas will find much in this anthology that echoes and clarifies their own efforts to map out hemispheric patterns and plot wider connections. Students of the Americas, particularly those at more advanced levels, and specialists of other regions and disciplines will benefit from the effort the authors have made to create an ‘integrated history’ of the Americas that views events from a broad social and economic perspective, takes proper account of contingency, particularly the impact of organised violence and warfare, and addresses both the commonality and the diversity of the historical experience of the hemisphere.\" -- Guy Thomson * Journal of Latin American Studies *\u003cbr\u003e“This exceptionally strong volume provides a critical step toward bringing interpretive coherence to the distinct yet inseparable wave trains that swelled across and in some cases smashed against American shores during this revolutionary age.” -- Steven J. Bachelor * The Latin Americanist *\u003cbr\u003e\"A remarkable effort. . . . An important book that makes an extraordinary effort of synthesis by looking at global and hemispheric history. It offers sophisticated insights about the political and economic connections linking the Americas to the world. As such, it will dispel inherited historiographical misrepresentations of the nineteenth century.\" -- Marcela Echeverri * Agricultural History *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAcknowledgments  ix\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Introduction: Revolutions, Nations, and a New Industrial World \/ John Tutino  1\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Part I.
