Journal of Enterprising Communities: People and Places in the Global Economy, 2009, vol. 3, issue 4, 415-425

Abstract: Purpose - The purpose of this paper is to illustrate how self‐employed craft producers are embedded in social relationships. Design/methodology/approach - To explore this question, narrative analysis and case study methodology is employed. Findings - It is found that despite doing work that speaks to local values, self‐employed craft producers in Newfoundland narrate tensions that exist between themselves and locals. Originality/value - This paper takes on the notion of a “global village” where the local is no longer seen as important to work and labour. It contributes to the understanding of work as embedded within a place.
