Washington Black and Rogues In Paradise - Beyond the Balloon: Belonging in Canada

The balloon in Washington Black floats beyond plantation smoke towards the grey-blue Atlantic and Halifax. That city's story bends from commerce to conscience-- ships when fed the Caribbean mills; later on, Halifax welcomed those running away slavery. Africville stands as both injury and witness, a Black neighbourhood whose spirit outlasted its demolition. Into this geography stepped Barbadian migrants: nurses, instructors, artists, and writers who made Canada larger than it knew-- Oliver Jones and Joe Sealy at the keys, Cameron Bailey on the festival phase, Anne Cools in the Senate. Fiction compresses to brighten; nonfiction expands to keep in mind. Together they expose how Barbados and Nova Scotia formed each other throughout centuries.


View the teaser, then explore the Halifax-- Barbados ties.
