In the context of the 250th anniversary of the American Revolution and the America2026 program, Bertrand Van Ruymbeke demonstrates how historiography has gradually shifted its focus to include the “invisible” figures of history—Indigenous peoples, enslaved people, women, Loyalists—while opening up to transatlantic circulations.

Nicolas Barreyre revisits the transnational turn in American history, emphasizing the notion of researchers’ positionality—that is, the active articulation of a perspective rather than the assertion of a single national origin.
