Food Futures Growing a Sustainable Food System for Newfoundland and Labrador edited by Catherine Keske (UC-Merced, MUN) ISBN 978-1-894725-45-3 | paperback | 328 pp | $26.95 SERIES: Social and Economic Papers #35

Over the centuries, people living in Newfoundland and Labrador have demonstrated remarkable resourcefulness in order to reap the bounty of both sea and land. However, despite renewed interest in traditional Newfoundland and Labrador meals, the reality is that many cannot attain healthy and affordable food.

Food Futures contributes to the Canadian food studies literature by exploring the origins, present day complexities, and future of the Newfoundland and Labrador food system. This uniquely interdisciplinary collection draws from the research of 24 scholars in disciplines ranging from anthropology to biology. Collectively, the authors offer a vision for a sustainable food system that meets the dual goals of achieving food security and food sovereignty for all.

Catherine Keske is an associate professor of management at the University of California-Merced. She is an adjunct professor in the School of Science and the Environment at Memorial University of Newfoundland. Catherine comes from an agribusiness family. She earned her Ph.D. in agricultural and resource economics from Colorado State University.

RELATED READING Pursuing Equality: Historical Perspectives on Women in Newfoundland and Labrador

by Vicki S. Hallett (MUN) ISBN 978-1-894725-49-1 | paperback | 300 pp | $24.95 SERIES: Social and Economic Studies #81

Phebe Florence Miller was a poet and postmistress who lived in Topsail, Newfoundland and Labrador from 1889-1979. Despite her success as a poetic voice in the 1920s and 30s, Miller is an obscure figure for today’s readers. This book brings her life and her contributions to Newfoundland and Labrador culture back into focus through the lens of her most personal writing. Mistress of the Blue Castle: The Writing Life of Phebe Florence Miller is an evocative exploration of the ways that identity and place are created together through the diaries, journals, poems and letters that this mercurial artist left behind.

Vicki S. Hallett is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Gender Studies at Memorial University. For many years her research and writing have focussed on the co-constitutive aspects of identity and place as expressed through life narrative. She is from Newfoundland and Labrador.

The Democracy Cookbook Recipes to Renew Governance in Newfoundland and Labrador edited by Alex Marland (MUN) & Lisa Moore (MUN) ISBN 978-1-894725-44-6 | paperback | 392 pp | $25.00 ISBN 978-1-894725-43-9 | Open Access PDF | 392 pp SERIES: Social and Economic Papers #34

The Democracy Cookbook is a collection of short and snappy, non-partisan opinion pieces authored by a cross-section of opinion leaders, academics, creative writers and other citizens. A unique form of grassroots mobilization, the book brings together a wide variety of voices to speak to the matter of “fixing” democratic governance in Newfoundland and Labrador after a period of acute political turmoil. It can be a useful model for jurisdictions across Canada and for small polities worldwide seeking to engage the public in debate about how democratic structures and processes should evolve. The Democracy Cookbook promises to stir up conversations around cabinet tables and kitchen tables alike.

“ A vital, engaging, and accessible contribution to public discourse in the province… easy to read and accessible” – Louise Carbert, Dalhousie University “ It is not common to think either of cookbooks or books on politics as exhilarating – in reality or metaphorically. Yet when the approaches are combined (with actual recipes), as in The Democracy Cookbook, the result is indisputably informative and engrossing. Marland and Moore’s innovative treatment deserves emulation.”

Towards an Encyclopedia of Local Knowledge Excerpts from Chapters I and II

by Pam Hall ISBN 978-1-550816-74-7 | hardcover | 192 pp | $79.95 SERIES: Visualizing the North Atlantic #1

From boat-building to berries, from knitting socks to mending nets, Towards an Encyclopedia of Local Knowledge vividly presents the rich, place-based knowings and doings of more than one hundred knowledge-holders from rural Newfoundland. Renowned artist Pam Hall perfectly marries her singular artistic vision and her exhaustive community-based research in a stunning celebration and preservation of rural knowledge. These images and texts come together to reveal and revalue the local in a time when globalizing forces seem overwhelming.

‘‘ The work is informative, illuminating, testimonial and preservative. This encyclopedia is as one-of-a-kind as the knowledge it holds between its blue covers, a unique and invaluable publication.’’

French Visitors to Newfoundland An Anthology of Nineteenth-Century Travel Writings edited by Scott Jamieson & Anne Thareau ISBN 978-1-894725-13-2 | paperback | 312 pp | $29.95 SERIES: Social and Economic Papers #31 This anthology provides an image of Newfoundland that was shaped over many years of writings by countless French voyagers — sailors and naval officers, journalists, artists, and other visitors — who described this region and its people for their readers back in France. This collection of their accounts attempts to capture the perception held by French visitors of Newfoundland’s transformation from colony to country, of Newfoundlanders and their lifestyles, and of the development of Newfoundland’s own political institutions and the changes brought about as France relinquished its historical rights to the English.
