Reviews

This is an extremely important book. Mackey is a skilled writer and his subject is topical and significant, both in terms of international and Canadian scholarship. His main purpose is to recount the stories of black people in Quebec so that they are no longer forgotten, and in that he is very successful. Paul E. Lovejoy, York University
