Sean Cadigan

Newfoundland and Labrador

A History

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Examining the region from prehistoric times to the present, "Newfoundland and Labrador" is not only a comprehensive history of the province, but an illuminating portrait of the Atlantic world and European colonisation of the Americas.

---

'This is a superb survey of the history of the region that became known as Newfoundland and Labrador, from the arrival of its first residents to the present. Sean T. Cadigan understands the enormous difficulties of surviving from the limited opportunities and fragile ecosystems available for humans in Newfoundland and Labrador and approaches the histories of the region's various peoples with profound respect. This book is in its conception, style, and humility, a gift to the people who have made the history of Newfoundland and Labrador.'-Rusty Bittermann, Department of History, St. Thomas University
