'Membering Austin Clarke reflects on the life and writing of Austin
Clarke, whose depictions of Black life in Canada enlarged our
understanding of what Canadian literature looks like.Despite being
one of Canada's most widely published, and most richly awarded
writers, Austin Clarke (1934-2016) is not a household name. This
collection addresses Clarke's marginalization in Canadian
literature by demonstrating that his writing on Black diasporic
life and the immigrant experience is a foundational, if untold,
part of the story of CanLit. Novelist, short-story writer, poet,
and essayist, Clarke was born in Barbados, moved to Canada in 1995
and went on to establish Black Studies programs at a number of
universities in America. He returned to Canada and became one of
Canadian literature's most prolific authors and a public voice for
Black people in Canada. Among his best-known works are the Giller
Award-winning The Polished Hoe (2002) and his memoir 'Membering
(2015). This collection of essays from colleagues, scholars,
friends, and fellow writers addresses Clarke's work in all its
richness and complexity in order to understand how Clarke's legacy
continues to transform Canadian writing. It includes previously
unpublished poems and short stories from Clarke's archives as well
as personal reflections from friends, histories of the publication
of his works, essays, interviews, and short stories and poems
inspired by Clarke.
