Beskrivning
The Black Press brings together original, multidisciplinary research that explores the history and impact of Black newspapers in Canada. This collection of essays introduces readers to the rich archive of Black Canadian journalism, spanning the period from the abolitionist to the modern civil rights era, and reveals the extensive network of African and African-descended activist-journalists. The book positions Black Canadian journalists, editors, publishers, and readers as influential intellectual activists whose efforts shaped the press to drive socio-cultural change both in Canada and abroad. Through historical analysis and archival research, each essay highlights how Black journalists countered mainstream portrayals of their community, challenging dominant narratives of Blackness in the Canadian imaginary. The essays demonstrate how the Black Press served as a crucial space for reflecting on Black Canadian identity, belonging, social justice, and human rights within the colonial contexts of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Combining historical, archival, and cultural analysis, the book uncovers the profound and often overlooked influence of the Black Press on Canada's cultural and political landscape.

Recensioner i media

“The Black Press makes a bold and direct intervention into Black Canadian intellectual history by daring us to imagine the vibrant legacy of Black Canadian print culture and its continued impact on Black Canadian life and politics. This work will absolutely transform our understanding of Black Canada.” - Kristin Moriah , Associate Professor of African American Literary Studies, Queen's University “The Black Press is a wonderfully comprehensive primer on the existence and development of Black Canadian print media. Well-researched and replete with engaging stories and characters, this timely collection is not only foundational, it generously presents a blueprint for future exploration in this long ignored field of study.” - Sylvia D. Hamilton, C.M., O.N.S., 2019 Governor General's History Award for Popular Media, Inglis Professor Emeritus, University of King's College
