Description
A History of Atlantic Canada provides students with a concise and up-to-date history of the four Atlantic provinces. It covers Newfoundland and Labrador as well as the Maritime provinces of New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, and Prince Edward Island. Arguing that any emphasis on the differencesbetween the provinces and sub-regions of Atlantic Canada obscures essential similarities as it is something more than the artificial geopolitical construct announced in 1949 when Newfoundland joined the Confederation.
