‘To be sold, a Negro wench’: Slave Ads of the Montreal Gazette, 1785-1805

| Abstract |
Focusing on The Gazette between 1785 and 1805, the author provides a history of Black slavery in Montreal by analyzing the sale ads and notices of escaped slaves in the newspaper. The author challenges the selective memory of the Canadian national identity with respect to the issue of tolerance.
