Conflicted Colony
" Exploring under-utilized written sources and untapped ecological evidence, Korneski writes authoritatively about the evolution of regional resource management regimes in Newfoundland that were often out of sync with the interests of political and mercantile elites in the capital. With its engaging prose and careful attention to the local, Conflicted Colony will attract a strong readership among scholars of social, diplomatic, environmental, and borderlands history, as well as within the general public." - Willeen Keough, Simon Fraser University

Providing new insight into the social history of Newfoundland and Labrador, these disputes illuminate contending perspectives driven by informal systems of governance, political movements, and local economic, social, demographic, and ecological circumstances. Conflicted Colony broadens, deepens, and clarifies our understanding of how Newfoundland became an integrated Dominion in the British Empire.
