We are pleased to announce the release of Acadiensis, Vol. 54, No. 1!
This issue features collaborative research articles, as well as critical reviews examining award-winning texts on the Atlantic region. Bernard Allaire, Nicolas Landry, and Brad Loewen uncover records written by 17th-century notary Jacques Cousseau regarding Basque fishing along the Atlantic coasts of Newfoundland and Acadie, while Matthew Hatvany and Laura-Lee Bolger reveal the tourist industry’s reimagination of the nordicity and peripherality of Anticosti beginning in the late 19th century. Peter Clancy and Mario Levesque analyze Canada’s policy framework for marine environmental protections by examining mediations for lifting the Irving Whale oil barge from the Gulf of St. Lawrence after it sank in 1970, and David A. Charters probes the modernization of sports car competition in Canada through tracing the creation and development of the Atlantic Motorsport Park. Book reviews are provided of Thomas Peace’s The Slow Rush of Colonization (by Martha Walls), Gregory M.W. Kennedy’s Lost in the Crowd (by Mourad Djebabla), and Anne Marie Creamer’s A Desperate Asylum (by Stefanie R. Slaunwhite).
