LES NOIRS à MONTREAL, 1628-1986
par Dorothy W. Williams
ISBN: 2-89005-674-0 PRICE: CDN$ 21.95 (no tax)
Depuis les premières explorations jusqu’au temps de l’esclavage, de la Confédération jusqu’à nos jours, les Noirs ont toujours fait paritie de l’expérience québécoise. À Montréal tout particulièrement, bien que faible sur le plan numérique, une communauté noire distincte s’est développée au cours du dernier siècle. Pourtant, cette présence, vieille de plus de trois cents ans, demeure largement méconnue. Bon nombre de Québécois croient toujours que les Noirs sont parmi les derniers arrivés dans notre société. Les Noirs à Montréal, publiés d’abord en anglais, viennnent combler en partie cette lacune en retraçant l’histoire démographique urbaine des
Noirs québécois.

The Road To Now
by Dorothy W. Williams
ISBN:
The reach of black history is long—-blacks have been a part of the Canadian experience since the sixteenth century. They have figured in Canada’s story from the original European explorations to the period of enslavement, and from the coming of the railroads to the present day. Montreal, a city so crucial in the making of Canada, has always had a distinct black community. Yet the historical record remains silent, causing Montreal’s black population to be invisible even today. The Road to Now provides a long-overdue historic overview of the black presence in Montreal.
Dorothy Williams returns to the roots of black history by chronicling slavery in Montreal, which lasted officially in New France for seventy-one years.. The author also describes the impact of the railways on Montreal’s black community and charts the evolution of the black community’s institutions.
This revised and expanded edition contains an epilogue covering the last twenty years of black history in Montreal, as well as the addition of photos to the text.
