Peoples living on the shores of the South Atlantic during the first sixty years of the seventeenth century were confronted with challenges imposed by colonial occupation, disputes between empires and continuous warfare. While the future of the Dutch and Portuguese empires was being decided with unparalleled violence, common people faced daily challenges to survive institutional and political interests beyond their control. This book takes the perspective of individuals, families and groups of interest in their daily strive to survive a European pursuit of empire.

"The book (...) contributes to a growing literature on a region that has long been neglected in historical scholarship, but which is essential to our understanding of the early modern Atlantic world.
Many of the volume's contributors themselves have pioneered studies of the South Atlantic.
(...) The volume thus pushes the field further towards analyses of integration and transnational engagement in the early modern world." – Oren Okhovat, in: International Review of Social History, Volume 68:3 (December 2023), pp. 524–528.
