"Dr. Kennedy succeeds in impressing his readers with the role cultural differences play in
every day life. . . . Holding the Line should be widely read."--The
Newfoundland Quarterly
More than a decade after Ben-Dor's study, Makkovik, Kennedy's research of the
same community shows that the Settler and Inuit groups still have little to do with each other. The
author describes the ways in which Settlers and Inuit attach ethnically specific and symbolic
meanings to past and present cultural traits. By this process, separate ethnic boundaries are
maintained.
