This collection of essays introduces readers to the rich archive of Black Canadian journalism, spanning the period from the abolitionist to the modern civil rights era, and reveals the extensive network of African and African-descended activist-journalists. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe book positions Black Canadian journalists, editors, publishers, and readers as influential intellectual activists whose efforts shaped the press to drive socio-cultural change both in Canada and abroad. Through historical analysis and archival research, each essay highlights how Black journalists countered mainstream portrayals of their community, challenging dominant narratives of Blackness in the Canadian imaginary. The essays demonstrate how the Black Press served as a crucial space for reflecting on Black Canadian identity, belonging, social justice, and human rights within the colonial contexts of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Combining historical, archival, and cultural analysis, the book uncovers the profound and often overlooked influence of the Black Press on Canada's cultural and political landscape.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eAcknowledgements\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAn Introduction to The Black Press: A Shadowed Canadian Tradition\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eClaudine Bonner, Boulou Ebanda de B’béri, Nina Reid-Maroney\u003c\/em\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePart One: The Black Press and the Abolitionist Context\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1.
