Notes


A study of the migration of African Americans from Oklahoma to the Canadian Prairies in the early twentieth century. Shepard examines the forces that drove these settlers northward and the social realities they encountered upon arrival. The work explores the interplay between Black migrants and white settlers, while revealing the persistence of institutional racism in both the United States and Canada. The author details the Laurier government’s attempts to curtail Black immigration, offering a critical reassessment of Canada’s self-image as a haven of racial tolerance.
