Title
Sankofa: Recovering Montreal’s Heterogeneous Black Print Serials
Abstract
An examination of 196 Black periodicals published in the Greater Montreal area from 1934 to 2005, and why they are mostly unknown, even to Black Quebecers. The author focuses upon the context of the serials’ evolution, their concomitant invisibility within the Black community of Montreal and the national and urban context of these documents. She explores the extent to which four factors may have contributed to the invisibility of these serials in Canada and in particular in the unique setting of Montreal: language, ethnicity, orality and the treatment of documents.
