Recenzii
"A masterful examination of Newfoundland-Canada relations from 1869--1949." Corey Slumkowski, author of Inventing Atlantic Canada: Regionalism and the Maritime Reaction to Newfoundland's Entry into Canadian Confederation
"Blake and Baker make a persuasive case, turn[ing] the conspiracy on its head and demonstrat[ing] how Newfoundlanders knew what they were doing and expressly acted in their own self-interest when they chose Canada. . . . It is hard to imagine any two other authors who would know more about the subject." David MacKenzie, author of Inside the Atlantic Triangle
"A lively history of Newfoundland politics from the 1860s to the 1940s, with vigorous and persuasive arguments as to why Newfoundlanders were right to reject Confederation in 1869, and right to embrace it in 1949." -- Christopher Moore, author of 1867: How the Fathers Made a Deal
"Blake and Baker vigorously bring the exciting fight of ideas in Newfoundland to life. We forget how great the stakes were -- nothing less than the survival, security, belonging and recognition of a people. Readers will discover how Newfoundlanders debated for four generations whether Canada was a beau risque." -- Patrice Dutil, author of Prime Ministerial Power in Canada
