| Abstract: |
The perception exists that the Black population of Canada is largely of Caribbean origin as a result of fairly recent immigration policies. Not so says Dwight Whylie, tracing the origins and development of Blacks in Canada, with interesting results. He cautions that changes need to be made in what defines the Canada of today, and urges the removal of the prefix by which so many nationalists are defined in our society, and draws on humorous anecdotes of his childhood years. |
