Book Synopsis North to Bondage by : Harvey Amani Whitfield
Download or read book North to Bondage written by Harvey Amani Whitfield. This book was released on 2016-02-01. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many Canadians believe their nation fell on the right side of history in harbouring black slaves from the United States. In fact, in the wake of the American Revolution, Loyalist families brought slaves with them to settle in the Maritime colonies of British North America. The transition from slavery in the American colonies to slavery in the Maritimes required slaves to use their traditions of survival, resistance, and kinship networks to negotiate their new reality. While some local judges chipped away at slavery, Maritime slaves fought against the institution of slavery by refusing to work, by running away, by reconstituting their families, and by challenging their owners in court. Harvey Amani Whitfield’s book, the first on slavery in the Maritimes, is a startling corrective to the enduring and triumphant narrative of Canada as a land of freedom at the end of the Underground Railroad.

Book Synopsis Black Slavery in the Maritimes: A History in Documents by : Harvey Amani Whitfield
Download or read book Black Slavery in the Maritimes: A History in Documents written by Harvey Amani Whitfield. This book was released on 2018-05-15. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many thousands of black people were enslaved in the Maritimes, Quebec, and Upper Canada between the seventeenth and early nineteenth centuries. It is not surprising that slavery played a part in Canadian history, but it is startling that it has not received widespread attention from the general Canadian public or from historians. This sourcebook collects a variety of documents, including runaway-slave advertisements, letters, court cases, and official government documents, offering readers an opportunity to explore black slavery in the Maritimes and revise their understanding of Canadian history.
