"This will be the standard reference work on the history of the German experience in Newfoundland/Labrador, dispelling the myth of a purely British society." Alexander Freund, Chair in German-Canadian Studies, University of Winnipeg "Bassler moves beyond conventional approaches to ethnic groups in Canada with interesting insights into the effects on Newfoundland and Labrador of the underside of British imperialism - prejudice, gossip, and racial rivalries." Kenneth McLaughlin, University of Waterloo
