We are pleased to announce the release of Acadiensis, Vol. 54, No. 2!
In this issue Greg Mitchell and Amanda Crompton probe fragmentary archival sources to bring to the surface stories of Labrador Inuit enslavement, while David Tough comparatively examines 1960s media and political responses to the communities of Brantville, New Brunswick and Keelerville, Ontario that were labelled “poverty capitals.” In a review essay examining post-war Atlantic Canadian art history, Andrew Nurse analyzes the connections of art, culture, and economy as revealed through the publications of Wabanaki Modern, Mary Pratt, and The Cause of Art. Book reviews examine publications covering topics of literary history, Black history, and Acadian history, including critiques of Billy Johnson’s Publishing Place (by Greg Marquis), Tony Colaiacovo’s Black History of Nova Scotia (by Titilola Aiyegbusi), Michelle Landry, Dominique Pépin-Filion, and Julien Massicotte’s L’État de l’Acadie (by Caroline-Isabelle Caron), and Hilary Doda’s Fashioning Acadians (by Laura Oland).
