Tides of Change on Grand Manan Island - Culture and Belonging in a Fishing Community

Informationen zum Autor Joan Marshall Klappentext In less than a decade, the island community has faced the degradation of the wild fishery and rapid growth of aquaculture, an increasing presence of multinational corporations, new federal initiatives with respect to aboriginal policies, and widespread social dysfunction.

This book charts the nature and pace of social and cultural change on Grand Manan! showing how it relates to globalization and environmental degradation.
