As New; Although the presence of blacks in the Maritimes can be traced to 1606, the majority entered the Maritimes as Loyalists and Maroons in the late 1700s, as Black refugees after the war of 1812, and as part of the 19th and 20th century immigration, first from the U.S. and later from the Caribbean and Africa. This book documents the experience of the Black in the Maritimes, the difficulties they encountered and the institutions that sustained them. It profiles a selection of prominent individuals who overcame the prejudice and discrimination of a dominant culture, to become outstanding in their careers while contributing to the greater good of society.
