Title
Informing Minority Communities: The English Speaking Black Community of Montreal. Towards a Deployable Model
Abstract
The authors explain that their study was motivated by concerns expressed by Black social entrepreneurs managing community-based organizations in the English-speaking Black communities of Montreal. The concerns were framed in an unpublished survey by the Institute of Community Entrepreneurship and Development (ICED) of Black leaders of five key English-speaking Black organizations: the Black Studies Center (BSC), the Black Theatre Workshop of Montreal BTW), the Black Community Resource Center (BCRC); The Quebec Board of Black Educators (QBBE); and DESTA Black Youth Project. (Survey of Black Organizations, December 2009 - 2010). The authors note that the survey revealed a strong perception among Black leaders in Montreal that in spite of their efforts to advance their communities there has been far too little progress. They see this as a result of systemic exclusion strategies of mainstream non-Black agencies and leaders.
