Description: Brief discussion by a North York high school student of Mowat's Newfoundland roots.
Toronto, ON: McClelland & Stewart, 1989. Newfoundland and Labrador-Social life and customs. Newfoundland and Labrador-Description and travel. Grades 10 and up / Ages 15 and up Farley Mowat draws from his own authoritative works on Newfoundland to create a fascinating eulogy for traditional life on the Rock. He captures the character of the seafolk, whose chosen life-style remained the same from one generation to the next until they were pushed unwillingly into the twentieth century by the political machinations of Joey Smallwood. From the unification with Canada in 1949 to the present, the government has continued purposefully to dislodge the people from their outport homes and seagoing livelihoods into larger mining and industrial communities, systematically destroying both the natural and human environment in the name of progress.
