The Black Atlantic Reconsidered: Black Canadian Writing, Cultural History, and the Presence of the Past
|
| Abstract |
The author offers a critical account of more than two centuries of Black Canadian writing that ranges from eighteenth-century autobiographical narratives of Black Loyalist preachers to contemporary novels, poetry, plays, and non-fiction by Black Anglophone and Francophone writers. The author discusses Mairuth Sarsfield’s novel No Crystal Stair (1997), set in Montreal’s oldest Black community – St. Antoine District – in the 1940s. The original Black inhabitants of this district were railroad porters and redcaps who moved there in the nineteenth century.
