Growing Up Black in Canada - Softcover
This memoir examines various aspects of race and culture encountered growing up and living in southwestern Ontario as a black Canadian from the 1940s to the 1990s. The subtleties inherent in the struggles against mainstream Canada's denial of race issues are exposed. In addition to her personal experience, Talbot includes relevant historical facts and discusses how they impacted previous generations as well as her own. The additional research elements in this revised edition highlight important ramifications of the links of black Canadians to African and Afro American culture. The profound effects of institutional racism and discrimination in Canada on the vulnerable psyche and sense of identity of black children and adults in this society is enhanced by the inclusion of lyrical poems interspersed throughout the book.
