Book Review: Politics and People in the North Atlantic Fisheries since 1485

two traditional occupations in Newfoundland and Labrador, with strong links to the family fishery and household production work in a number of places on the island. Cullum confines her historical treatment of these issues to one of the context chapters, "Crossing Time and Space." Here she draws on a number of studies, including Jessie Chisolm's historical research on labour on the St. John's waterfront and discusses the craft of box making in the early twentieth century, as a male preserve. During this period boxes were wooden and their manufacture involved carpentry skills, which changed substantively when boxes began to be made of paper by women. Cullum does not incorporate this kind of nuanced historical analysis into the more focussed chapters on fish processing and blueberry processing, and thus neglects to address the discontinuity of blueberry picking as household production work and its transformation into "factory work. " Cullum has contributed much to the historiography of the twentieth-century Newfoundland fisheries, where there is a dearth of gender-informed community-based studies on the impact of transformations of fish processing work on men's and women's lives. She also contributes to a rethinking of methodological and interpretive questions raised in history and sociology, and the production of qualitative research and knowledge. Cross-disciplinary studies enhance the methods and interpretations we apply to certain events. The kind of careful analysis of people's words that Cullum accomplishes is difficult to do. Her study should be a model for researchers grappling with the complexities of analysing and interpreting while using people's talk and everyday experiences at the centre of the analysis. Her study succeeds through example in forcefully reminding us that people's lives and experiences are complex and their memories and personal histories are shaped by many layers within our social worlds.
