In this collection of rare interviews, personal histories, and detailed research, Mom, Dad, and the Newfoundland Renaissance uncovers the creative forces behind Newfoundland and Labrador's iconic cultural identity.

During the late twentieth century, Newfoundland and Labrador experienced a cultural movement that came to be known as the Newfoundland Renaissance. Pursuing her own roots in Newfoundland, E.G. Hynes tracks this movement from 1967 to 1982. Against the backdrop of Atlantic-wide decolonization, liberation, and cultural nationalist movements--many of which were artist-led--Newfoundland and Labrador's creators of art sought their own cultural reclamation in the wake of the dramatic changes following the 1949 Confederation with Canada. Featuring interviews with artists including CODCO, The Mummers Troupe, The Newfoundland Travelling Theatre Company, Figgy Duff, Red Island, and the Wonderful Grand Band, Mom, Dad and the Newfoundland Renaissance explores the experiences of artists who not only pioneered a fresh artistic aesthetic and ethos, but also contributed greatly to the evolution of the region's identity.
