Reflections on Emancipation and Anti-Black Racism for Canada Richard Bott

REFLECTIONS on EMANCIPATION and ANTI-BLACK RACISM for CANADA offers a collection of reflections by theologians, historians, and pastors from Canada, the United Kingdom, the Caribbean, and the USA. They reflect on the relevance of the celebration of the abolition of slavery for Canada. Unfortunately, many Canadians are not aware of the history of chattel slavery in their country. This book seeks to raise awareness about the history of African enslavement and the legacies of slavery in Canada.
