The Life and Death of a Canadian Black Community.

Published by McClelland and Stewart. 1974 1st edition softcover. Book Condition: Used Good with deterioration of the covers. 272 pages.

In the mid 1960s the city of Halifax decided to relocate the inhabitants of Africville-a black community that had been transformed by civil neglect, mismanagement, and poor planning into one of the worst city slums in Canadian history. Africville is a sociological account of the relocation that reveals how lack of resources and inadequate planning led to devastating consequences for Africville relocatees. Africville is a work of painstaking scholarship that reveals in detail the social injustice that marked both the life and the death of the community. It became a classic work in Canadian sociology after its publication in 1974.
