À propos de cet audio

A remarkable memoir about achieving prosperity in the face of relentless prejudice.

In the Black traces B. Denham Jolly's personal and professional struggle for a place in a country where Black Canadians have faced systematic discrimination. He arrived from Jamaica to attend university in the mid-1950s and worked as a high school teacher before going into the nursing and retirement-home business. Though he was ultimately successful in his business ventures, Jolly faced both overt and covert discrimination, which led him into social activism. The need for a stronger voice for the Black community fueled Jolly's 12-year battle to get a license for a Black-owned radio station in Toronto. At its launch in 2001, Flow 93.5 became the model for urban music stations across the country, helping to launch the careers of artists like Drake.

Jolly chronicles not only his own journey; he tells the story of a generation of activists who worked to reshape the country into a more open and just society. While celebrating these successes, In the Black also measures the distance Canada still has to travel before we reach our stated ideals of equality.

A great story of experiences in Canada, sad I didn’t know about this man earlier in my life

History sorely needed to be known

Canadian systemic and cultural racism is more often then not minimized and its existence denied especially when American history is considered. This book sheds light and confirms what many know but choose to turn a blind eye to, that the ever so polite Canadians were just as passionately exclusionist and deliberately racist. Canadian racism has always had a certain degree of elegance about it. As it is not common for someone to be boldly, rudely or visibly exclusionist or racist. Unlike the violent Americans, Canadians had no need for violence as they opted to exclude non-whites. This approach saved Canada from the needless enforcement of white superiority. Until today it is easy to find Canadian towns and cities where visible minorities are not welcomed. It is not an accident that Canadian conservatives or those who claim to be "true Canadians" oppose immigration and often view immigrants and visible minorities with a certain degree of envy and resentment. This story and book tell the story of many hard working immigrants who have earned their privilege with honest hard work despite white Canadian's attempts.

The untold Canadian history.

The narrator does such a great job it is easy to forget that he isn't the author. You feel like you are sitting a room with someone recounting their amazing life. Canada has a lot to be proud about but also has tried to sweep a lot of unpleasantness under the rug. It is time that we shed light into our darkness and acknowledge that we aren't the shining star in the north. This way maybe we can finally become what we try to tell the world we are. Thank you Audible for featuring reads like this. #Audible1
