Description

Mary Ann Shadd’s pamphlet A Plea for Emigration; or Notes of Canada West is, because the title promises, a settler guide designed to tell prospective immigrants of conditions of their proposed new home. But while such a lot such works were addressed to potential white emigrants to North The usa from Britain or continental Europe, Shadd’s aimed to entice black American citizens to emigrate to Canada.

The introduction and background materials included within the volume situate Shadd’s pamphlet in its political and cultural context, and within the context of Shadd’s own remarkable life as an abolitionist, girls’s rights activist, creator, and educator.
