Fear Of A Black Nation Race Sex And Security In Sixties Montreal

About this book

>Situating Canada within the Black radical tradition and its Caribbean radical counterpart, *Fear of a Black Nation* paints a history of Montreal and the Black activists who lived in, sojourned in, or visited the city and agitated for change. Drawing on Saidiya Hartman’s conception of slavery’s afterlife and what David Austin describes as biosexuality – a deeply embedded fear of Black self-organization and interracial solidarity – *Fear of a Black Nation* argues that the policing and surveillance of Black lives today is tied to the racial, including sexual, codes and practices and the discipline and punishment associated with slavery. - [publisher](https://btlbooks.com/book/fear-of-a-black-nationsecond-edition)
