Condition: NEAR FINE. Trade paperback original - 3rd printing. A look at the troubled state of race relations in Canada by this black novelist, who came to Canada from Barbados at the age 24. Although the title refers to how the fugitive slaves (and Foster himself) thought of Canada, the reality is quite different: "The sons and daughters of black doctors, lawyers and politicians are just as likely to drop out of school and to be harassed by the police as are the offspring of domestic servants. For many young Blacks, this situation is not acceptable. INSCRIBED on the title page and dated in 1998. Index. 325 pp. Near fine in glossy blue and black illustrated wrappers with French flaps.

Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. INSCRIPTION FROM CECIL FOSTER on title page; Clean, tight, unmarked; absolute minimal wear; appears unread; When American slaves sang in unison of the Heaven that awaited them, encoded in the lyrics were instructions for escape: the "Heaven" they sang about was what lay at the end of the Underground Railroad - Canada. What Canada's mainstream delivers to the black community is skewed justice, fear as a first response, fair-weather political representation, a sensationalist media. Unafraid to provoke anger or confront controversy - from either the black or the white community - Foster has written a brave, bold account of the troubled state of race relations in Canada. Inscribed by Author(s). Seller Inventory # 003657
