Focusing on the narratives of enslaved Black individuals in the Maritimes, this biographical dictionary uncovers their stories and highlights their experiences. It serves as a vital resource that sheds light on the often-overlooked histories and contributions of these individuals, offering a deeper understanding of their lives and the impact of slavery in the region.
