From American Slaves to Nova Scotian Subjects: The Case of the Black Refugees, 1813-1840 (Canadian Ethnography Series, Vol 2) - Whitfield, Harvey Amani; Cummins, Bryan D.; Steckley, John L.

Clean, tight, unmarked; absolute minimal wear; appears unread; Volume 2 of the Canadian Ethnography Series is a fascinating study that reveals the little-known experiences and lives of migrant American slaves in the years of struggle after their arrival in colonial Canada between 1813 and 1840. Overwhelming odds limited their opportunities for earning a respectable livelihood, but despite years of poverty, disease, racism, and neglect in a harsh environment, the Black Refugees persevered to develop a distinct community identity and a foothold in the rural and urban economy of Nova Scotia.
