My master's sons-in-law . . . came into the garden where my sister and I were playing among the currant bushes, tied their handkerchiefs over our mouths, carried us to a vessel, put us in the hold, and sailed up the river. I know not how far nor how long -- it was dark there all the time.' These words, recorded by Benjamin Drew in 1855, provide Sophia Burthen's account of her arrival as an enslaved person into what is now Canada sometime in the late 18th century. In It Was Dark There All the Time, writer and curator Andrew Hunter builds on the testimony of Drew's interview to piece together Burthen's life, while reckoning with the legacy of whiteness and colonialism in the recording of her story. In so doing, Hunter demonstrates the role that the slave trade played in pre-Confederation Canada and its continuing impact on contemporary Canadian society. Evocatively written with sharp, incisive observations and illustrated with archival images and contemporary works of art, It Was Dark There All the Time offers a necessary correction to the prevailing perception of Canada as a place unsullied by slavery and its legacy."-- $c Provided by publisher. 530 $a Issued also in electronic format. 600 10 $a Burthen, Sophia. 650 0 $a Women slaves $z Canada $v Biography. 650 0 $a Slaves $z Canada $v Biography. 650 0 $a Slavery $z Canada. 650 0 $a Slave trade $z Canada. 650 0 $a Slaves $z Canada $x Social conditions. 650 0 $a Slaves $x Emancipation $z Canada. 650 0 $a Freedmen $z Canada $v Biography. 650 0 $a Imperialism $x Social aspects. 650 0 $a Postcolonialism $x Social aspects. 655 7 $a Biographies. $2 lcgft 941 $a 1 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20220127010056.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=C4D581D87F3E11EC88F1A31640ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
