About this book

The Routledge Handbook of Black Canadian Literature offers a comprehensive overview of the growing and increasingly significant field of Black Canadian literary studies. Including historical and contemporary analysis, this volume is an essential text that maps the field over the almost 200 years of its existence across a range of genres from slave narratives to prose fiction, poetry, theatre, and dub and spoken word. It presents Black Canadian literature as encompassing a diverse set of viewpoints, approaches, and practices, touching every aspect of Canadian territory and life, and as deeply influencing debates and understandings of Black peoples far beyond its borders. This Handbook employs an interdisciplinary framework that incorporates literary, historical, geographical, and cultural analysis. This book comprising 32 chapters is organized into five sections that chart the literature's development into a recognizable canon, trace Black literary geographies across Canada from east to west, delineate the literature's various genres and expressive forms, and honor the writers and thinkers who have influenced the growth of the field. This volume's range of subject and plurality of perspectives provide an excellent resource for teachers, researchers, and students from multiple disciplines, including Canadian studies and literature, Caribbean studies, global Black studies, hemispheric studies, diaspora studies, history, and cultural studies.
