Specter of Peace' advances a novel historical conceptualization of peace as a process
of "right ordering" that involved the careful regulation of violence, the legitimation
of colonial authority, and the creation of racial and gendered hierarchies. The volume
highlights the many paths of peacemaking that otherwise have hitherto gone unexplored
in early American and Atlantic World scholarship and challenges historians to take
peace as seriously as violence. Early American peacemaking was a productive discourse
of moral ordering fundamentally concerned with regulating violence. The historicization
of peace, the authors argue, can sharpen our understanding of violence, empire, and
the early modern struggle for order and harmony in the colonial Americas and Atlantic
World
