Blacks in Canada journeys from the introduction of slavery in 1628
to the first wave of Caribbean immigration in the 1950s and 1960s.
Heralded in the Literary Review of Canada as one of the one hundred
most important Canadian books, this enduring work by Yale
University's Robin W. Winks offers a wealth of information for
fresh interpretation. Now, fifty years from its original printing,
this third edition includes a foreword by George Elliott Clarke,
E.J. Pratt Professor of Canadian Literature at the University of
Toronto. Clarke's contribution adds a necessary critical lens
through which twenty-first-century readers should view Winks's
research. The longevity of Blacks in Canada is due to an impressive
array of primary and secondary materials that illuminate the
experiences of Black immigrants to Canada. These experiences
include the forced migration of enslaved Black people brought to
Nova Scotia and the Canadas by Loyalists at the end of the American
Revolution, Black refugees who fled to Nova Scotia following the
War of 1812, Jamaican Maroons, and fugitive slaves who fled to
British North America. The book also highlights Black West Coast
businessmen who helped found British Columbia, particularly
Victoria, and Black settlement in the prairie provinces. Crucially,
Blacks in Canada investigates the French and English periods of
slavery, the abolitionist movement in Canada, and the role played
by Canadians in the broader continental antislavery crusade, as
well as Canadian adaptations to nineteenth- and twentieth-century
racial mores.
