Beschreibung
This study provides an in-depth look into the fiction of one of African-Canadian literature's foremost writers, Lawrence Hill. It is the first to provide a comprehensive analysis of Hill's historical fictions which narrates histories rarely told before - whether it is the enslavement of blacks in Canada, de facto segregation or racial profiling.
