  • 1 Remembering Montreal As a Site Of
    1 Remembering Montreal as a Site of Transatlantic Slavery Charmaine A. Nelson Having lived in Montreal for many years, I often visited the historic neighbourhood of Old Montreal. As a scholar who studies Transatlantic Slavery, I found it to be full of ghosts. Old Montreal was Montreal at one time; the part of the city that was first settled by the French starting in the sixteenth century. In 1688 the colonial administrator Jean-Baptiste de Lagny (Sieur des Bringandières) petitioned the governor, Jacques-Réné de Brisay (Marquis de Denonville), to appeal to France for slaves.1 Already established trade routes between New France and several French-held Caribbean islands were cited as evidence of the feasibility of transportation. By the early eighteenth century, slavery continued to grow slowly to service the demand for domestics and field hands of the wealthier classes.2 By 1663, an aggressive new era of colony-building had ensued under King Louis XIV. Although hesitant about the ability of Africans to survive in the Canadian winters, the King was persuaded when local politicians extolled the success of slavery in New England as indicative of the resilience and adaptability of the African population. He gave his assent on 1 May 1689.3 Slavery in New France included the enslavement of people of African and Indigenous descent, a practice that the British continued after conquest with the renaming of the region as Quebec. Transatlantic Slavery transpired over the course of 400 years from the 1400’s to the 1800’s. The standard focus on the tropical or semi-tropical regions, has resulted in a fixation on mono-crop plantation economies where year-round agriculture resulted in the cultivation and exportation of crops like coffee, cotton, and sugar cane.

  • At an Elite University
    BLACK RACIALIZATION AND RESISTANCE AT AN ELITE UNIVERSITY rosalind hampton BLACK RACIALIZATION AND RESISTANCE AT AN ELITE UNIVERSITY The presence and experiences of Black people at elite universities have been largely underrepresented or erased from institutional histories. In Black Racialization and Resistance at an Elite University, rosalind hampton documents narratives that span half a century and that reflect differ- ences in class, gender, and national identifications among Black schol- ars. By mapping Black people’s experiences of studying and teaching at McGill University, hampton reveals how the “whiteness” of the uni- versity both includes and exceeds the racial identities of students and professors. The study highlights the specific functions of Blackness and of anti-Blackness within society in general and within the institution of higher education in particular, demonstrating how structures and prac- tices of the university reproduce interlocking systems of oppression that uphold racial capitalism, reproduce colonial relations, and pro- mote settler nationalism. Critically engaging the work of Black learn- ers, academics, organizers, and activists within this dynamic political context, this book underscores the importance of Black Studies across North America. rosalind hampton is an assistant professor in the Department of Social Justice Education at the University of Toronto.

    Description and Finding Aid JOHN STRACHAN COLLECTION F2021 Prepared by Marion Magee 2010 John Strachan collection JOHN STRACHAN COLLECTION Dates of creation: [1778-1868] Extent: 2 m of textual records 4 artefacts Biographical sketch: John Strachan, Anglican clergyman, bishop, and educator, was born on 12 April 1778 at Aberdeen, Scotland, and died on 1 November 1867 in Toronto, Ontario. He attended Aberdeen Grammar School and King's College, Aberdeen, but turned to teaching after his father died in 1794. In the fall of 1796 Strachan returned to Aberdeen and graduated with an A.M. in March 1797. In 1799 Strachan accepted a teaching position in Upper Canada, arriving at Kingston on 31 December. He began tutoring the children of prominent townspeople, including those of Richard Cartwright. In 1803 Bishop Jacob Mountain ordained Strachan as a deacon, and he became a priest in 1804. He was given the mission at Cornwall, where he soon began taking students and set up a school. In 1807 he married Ann Wood McGill, the widow of Andrew McGill, a member of a prominent Montreal mercantile family, and they had nine children, James McGill, Elizabeth (died in infancy), George Cartwright, Elizabeth Mary, John, Alexander Wood, two daughters who died in infancy, and Agnes (who died at 16). In 1811 Strachan received an honorary D.D. from the University of Aberdeen (in 1829 he received an LL.D. from St Andrews University). The same year, he advised James McGill of Montreal to leave his extensive property to the cause of education; provisions were made that led to the founding of McGill University.
