This challenging collection of essays examines the crisis in the
Newfoundland fishery, the current structure and its future. What can we
learn from a comparison of the Newfoundland fisheries with other North
Atlantic fisheries? How have fishing communities and organisations
adapted to the changing social and political pressures? What are the
historical roots of contemporary problems? To what extent does the future
of Newfoundland depend on the survival of the fisheries?
"A Question of Survival is a valuable resource to anyone
who is looking for concise information, presented briefly and clearly with
a minimum of academic rhetoric. It is not the last word on the state of
the fishery, but it is definitely a beginning."--The Newfoundland
Herald
