You can access it through either of the above links, or by going to BAnQ Numérique (http://numerique.banq.qc.ca/apropos/debuter.html) and searching for the title of the book. Written by the late Marcel Trudel, historian and professor at l’Université d’Ottawa and l’Université Laval, this 474-page book is an account of slaves, slavery and slave owners in New France (Nouvelle-France). It includes a list of slaves and those who owned them. 1 The City of Montreal (Ville-Marie in the early years) was the centre of slavery in New France, followed by Quebec City, Detroit and Trois-Rivières. The last two, Detroit and Trois-Rivières, had only a few slaves. A book by Brett Rushford and Andrew Kahn; Native American Slaves in New France, claims that as many as 10,000 Indigenous people were enslaved in New France between 1660 and 1760.

    CGJSC / RCESSC 35 Vol. 2, Iss/Num. 1, Spring/Printemps 2013 Ghosts and Shadows: A History of Racism in Canada Maureen Kihika Simon Fraser University, Department of Sociology and Anthropology A history of racism reinforces discrimination and exploitation of racialized immigrants in general and African-Canadians in particular. My paper contends that historically institutionalized structures are the ideological fulcrum from which ongoing socio-economic inequalities derive and retain their legitimacy. Specifically, I argue that the historically institutionalized system of slavery and ensuing systemic structures of racial discrimination negatively influence the incorporation of racialized immigrants into the Canadian labour market. A historically racially segmented labour market continues to uphold colour coded social and economic hierarchies. Although Canada’s point system ensures that immigrants are primarily selected on the basis of their skills and qualifications, many professionally trained and experienced racialized immigrants endure perpetual socio-economic constraints, characterized primarily by low-end, precarious forms of employment. While not intended to serve as an exhaustive chronology, this essay draws on three historical periods of Black migration and experience in Canada: the first spans early sixteenth to the end of the eighteenth-century, the second dates from the nineteenth to mid-twentieth century, and the third extends from mid-twentieth century to the present. The following historical timeline traces the prevalence and enduring nature of systemic structures and substantiates Abigail Bakan’s (2008) suggestion that both “racism and a culture of hegemonic whiteness were and remain endemic to the Canadian state” (p. 6).

  • Slavery in Canada
    Slavery in Canada Dr. Afua Cooper The enslavement of Blacks in Canada is a little-known fact. However, slavery was practised under both the French and British colonial regimes, and lasted for more than two centuries. It was recognized by law and custom. The enslavement of Black people in Canada was part of the larger process of the Transatlantic Slave Trade which ripped upwards of twenty-five million people from the shores of Africa to the New World. In 1608, French explorer and colonizer, Samuel de Champlain, established a settlement at Québec, and launched the era of French colonization in what is now Canada. The earliest record we have of a Black enslaved person in Canada dates back to 1628. In that year, the Kirke brothers, Huguenot pirates working on behalf of the English Crown, captured the feeble colony at Québec.1 The Kirkes had with them a nine-year-old boy from Madagascar whom they promptly sold to a Québec clerk. The boy was baptized and given the name Olivier Le Jeune—the first name being that of his owner, and the last name belonging to the Jesuit priest, Paul Le Jeune, who baptized him. This African child was to live in Quebec as a domestic slave for the rest of his life. He died in 1654. By the end of the century, a steam of Black people entered the colony as enslaved persons. New France’s colonists continually experienced a labour shortage and they felt that only slaves could relieve such a shortage. Owned by a variety of individuals and 1 The English rule of the Kirkes lasted for only three years.

This thesis identifies the lack of understanding in the community in urban multicultural Alberta as the prime cause of the struggle encountered by new immigrant students in school. The thesis incorporates the experiences of six new immigrant students to promote an authentic curriculum of learning and teaching to meet the needs of these learners. It posits that an authentic curriculum is unlikely without input from learners. The method used Hans-Georg Gadamer’s approach to hermeneutics and phenomenology, with the researcher asking the six African participants to share their stories in the African storytelling fashion in which no one dominates the discussion. The conversations were analyzed and interpreted to provide insight into the life-worlds of the participants. Ted Aoki’s multilayered curriculum of curriculum-as-planned, curriculum-as-lived experience and the “zone of between” are seen as a beneficial practice inclusive of all students.

  • Our Shameful Legacy
    Our shameful legacy http://www.montrealgazette.com/story_print.html?id=6213707&sponsor= Our shameful legacy BY DONALD H. OLIVER, THE GAZETTE FEBRUARY 27, 2012 Donald H. Oliver is a Canadian senator from Halifax If Canadians think about the history of slavery at all, we tend to regard it in terms our neighbours to the south with a slight smugness and a sense of moral superiority. But we shouldn't, because Canada has a long and painful history of slavery of our own, the legacy of which is still being felt today. As Black History Month draws to a close, let's look at our nefarious and painful past, but also celebrate the countless success stories of African-Canadians over the past four centuries. Our history of enslaving African Canadians dates back to 1628 when Olivier Le Jeune, a boy from Africa, became Canada's first recorded black slave. Over the next 200 years, thousands of Africans were enslaved by white men in Upper and Lower Canada, the precursors of Ontario and Quebec today. Between 1689 and 1834, more than 2,000 blacks lived as slaves in New France and, later, Lower Canada. In fact, in 1709, Louis XIV explicitly authorized slavery in New France, allowing les canadiens to own slaves. To the west, six of the 16 legislators in the first parliament of Upper Canada were slave owners. It was not until 1834 that slavery was abolished in the entire British Empire, including Canada, with the adoption of the Slavery Abolition Act. But nearly two centuries later, there are strong remnants of slavery in Canada.
