Description

Newfoundland and Labrador: A History by Sean T. Cadigan The history of Newfoundland and Labrador is a complex and fascinating story that spans over a thousand years, from the first European settlement by Vikings to its current status as part of Canada. This region has played a significant role in the gateway between North America and Europe, shaped by its unique environment and natural resources. Cadigan's comprehensive history examines the region from prehistoric times to the present day, covering topics such as the displacement of indigenous peoples, conflicts with imperial governance, and the impact of joining Canada on the province. The author pays particular attention to how the region's environment has influenced its history, including the effects of natural resources like the Grand Banks and off-shore oil. Richly detailed and written in an engaging style, this book brings the vibrant history of Newfoundland and Labrador to life, providing a compelling portrait of the Atlantic world and European colonization of the Americas.
