Paperback. Condizione: New. In the summer of 1892, an American company chartered a schooner to coastal Labrador to recruit Inuit for an ethnological exhibit to be presented the following year at the World's Columbian Exposition. Promised wages, room and board, medical care, and a supply of hunting provisions on their return, sixty Inuit boarded the Evelena that fall, bound for Chicago. Trading on the popular accounts of early Arctic explorers, the American exhibitors presented them as "Arctic primitives," living in ice houses year-round, "untouched by the hand of civilization." But the Inuit were from Labrador, not the Arctic, and they were far from primitive. Their unique histories in Labrador meant they were among the earliest North American Indigenous people to have contact with Europeans, and this had resulted in long-established relationships with European colonial agencies. This experience meant they were neither ignorant of Euro-American culture nor helpless in the face of injustice and exploitation. Subjected to poor living conditions and chafing under the authoritarian dictates of their employers, Inuit at the exposition shattered stereotypes by taking their employers to court seeking to assert their individual rights and freedoms under the law. The highly publicized case challenged false public perceptions of Inuit. Performance and Protest documents the trials and challenges of Inuit from Labrador as they negotiated their way through the prejudices of the time in an alien and often hostile environment. By unraveling the complexities of their representations and experiences, this volume offers valuable insight into Inuit resilience and agency in the late-nineteenth century.…

Paperback. Condizione: New. Drawing on one of Newfoundland and Labrador's richest archival treasures, the letters written to J.R. Smallwood (in the Archives and Special Collections Division, QEII Library, Memorial University), Dear Mr. Smallwood considers the lives and stories of everyday Newfoundlanders and Labradorians as they navigated what was arguably the biggest political transition of their lifetimes: the entry of the former dominion of Newfoundland into confederation with Canada in 1949. With over 30 contributors, this collaborative project brings together archival materials, scholarly essays, autobiographical reflections, and poetic and visual responses to compliment existing narratives about Confederation. Dear Mr. Smallwood is based on extensive archival research; however, our interest does not lie with Confederation as an historical event. Rather, as life writing scholars, we are interested in the relationship between Confederation and life narrative. Drawing specifically on the thousands of letters written to Smallwood between 1948 and 1951, we consider how Newfoundlanders and Labradorians represented themselves and made meaning of their lives; that is, we focus on the stories they told about themselves and this rapidly changing place they called home. As unique expressions of people's hopes, dreams, discontents, and desires, the letters open a window onto Newfoundlanders and Labradorians as political agents. In their letters, these correspondents both articulated their current living situations and imagined their futures, looking for ways to improve their own lives, and those of their communities. Taken together, the letters are a vital - but until now, virtually untapped - source towards imagining a collective political autobiography of Newfoundland and Labrador.…
