Review Quotes

Enslavers of the Maritimes will strike some eyes as a shocking and most unwelcome revelation: that the ranks of colonial Nova Scotians, Islanders, and New Brunswickers included French, British, and Yankee slaveholders and slave-traders, all dead-serious about exploiting their human "property" and super-proud of their status.

George Eliot Clarke

Author of Whiteout: how Canada cancels Blackness

Former Parliamentary Poet Laureate

Brenda Thompson calls slavery a terrible stain on our history which must not be repeated. Her Introduction is strong and powerful and is meant to ensure that this blight on our history is never forgotten. This book is must have for all schools and libraries.
