• W404869061 abstract "Reviewed by: The Newfoundland Diaspora: Mapping the Literature of Out-Migration by Jennifer Bowering Delisle Terry Goldie Jennifer Bowering Delisle. The Newfoundland Diaspora: Mapping the Literature of Out-Migration. Waterloo: Wilfrid Laurier up, 2013. I began reading this book in Toronto and then finished it when back in Newfoundland for Christmas. I now am writing this review in Toronto. My thirty-two-year-old son, who lives in Hamilton, Ontario, has the map of Newfoundland tattooed over his heart. My ten-year-old-daughter was born in Toronto but every day since she returned from St John’s she has said, “I want to go home.” As I have said so many times, in person and in print, Newfoundland gets under your skin. [End Page 134] Jennifer Bowering Delisle, who grew up in Edmonton with Newfoundland parents, sees this very clearly. Yet she also sees that this obsession is not easily framed. She wonders whether or not “Newfoundlander” should be seen as an ethnicity. She notes the obvious truth that if it is an ethnicity it is sort of once removed, as the vast majority of Newfoundlanders are of Irish or West Country English heritage. She does not observe, however, that this is far from unique. The Indian population of Trinidad is exactly that, as many writers have noted, most famously V. S. Naipaul. They are never just “diasporic Indian.” Even just within Canada, Québécois might be seen as the same, with a very similar ancient European heritage that has been transformed into something quite different and yet retains many elements of its roots. A comparison of Quebec/France and Newfoundland/Ireland would be interesting. This is clearly not Delisle’s topic, and yet either Quebec or Trinidad might have given her help with some quandaries. But many years ago I heard a colleague do the Quebec comparison and one member of the audience said, “There’s no place like Newfoundland, b’y.” This type of claim is both frustrating and symptomatic. The rest of the world says Newfoundlanders seem Irish, the rest of Canada says Newfoundland is just a province, many say that Newfoundland is just a bunch of white people, but Newfoundlanders say that Newfoundlanders are just Newfoundlanders and that is more than enough. I was reminded of the latter at a party when a number of Newfoundlanders who had grown up with sufficient privilege to have live-in servants talked about being discriminated against for being “Newfies.” But there is that “N” word. I would probably have trouble getting the other “N” word published, but while “Newfie” is usually at least slightly discriminatory Newfoundlanders are often told to get over themselves when they complain about its use. But it is a pejorative ethnic label like so many others and says something about what it still means to be a Newfoundlander, how it continues to be an ethnicity, a source of pride, and a source of discrimination. The Newfoundland clubs around Canada show just that. Although if you go searching for a “Newfoundland Club” in the United States you shall find only large dogs, called, by their adoring owners, “Newfies.” All of this has been traced many times. It is particularly well discussed in James Overton’s Making a World of Difference: Essays on Tourism, Culture, and Development in Newfoundland (St John’s: iser, 1996). As Overton shows, being different is a basic assumption of Newfoundlanders, an assumption that has become an industry, from those little mummer figures [End Page 135] made in China to the unavoidable tourism ads on the television to The Republic of Doyle. This difference has been analyzed as well by literary scholars, most notably Patrick O’Flaherty, in his brilliantly acerbic The Rock Observed: Studies in the Literature of Newfoundland (Toronto: University of Toronto Press, 1979.) But none of these concentrates on that particular brand of Newfoundland literature written from away. Anyone who comes to live in Newfoundland is likely to be labeled a “Come From Away,” or cfa, an often dismissive term for someone who is “not from here.” Years ago, I suggested a variant might be “Newfoundlander From Away.” The category is a bit like “Non-Resident Indian,” that..." @default.
