{"product_id":"christian-krampe-the-past-is-present-9783631625569","title":"The Past is Present","description":"The Black tile in Canadäs mosaic has long been neglected ¿ in historiography, literary criticism and public discourse. African-Canadian literature sets out to correct this absence. This study provides an in-depth look into the fiction of one of African-Canadian literature¿s foremost writers, Lawrence Hill. His novels provide a counter-memory, an antidote to the forgetfulness and neglect which often characterize Canadäs attitude towards its Black minority both past and present. Dominant collective memory versions are thus corrected to reflect a more faithful Canadian mosaic. Whether it is the enslavement of Blacks in Canada, de facto segregation or racial profiling ¿ Hill narrates histories which have rarely been told before. This book is the first to provide a comprehensive analysis of Hill¿s historical fictions.","brand":"Peter Lang","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53917692068182,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.momoxbooks.com\/products\/christian-krampe-the-past-is-present-9783631625569","provider":"momoxbooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
