However, this book dispels that myth by recounting Leonard Albert Paris's first eighteen years (1948-1966), growing up as a Black youth in rural Nova Scotia, Canada, a province that was at the time, home to about 36 percent of Canada's Black population. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eStructural racism, community isolation, and generational poverty affected every aspect of his life, creating challenges and misery for him, his family, and the entire Black community-an experience that continues to affect him emotionally many decades later. While not as extreme as it was during the author's formative years, racism and its effects continue into the present. Leonard wrote Jim Crow Also Lived Here in part to create awareness of this problem and also to inspire change.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Leonard Albert Paris\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1525576674\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781525576676\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e FriesenPress\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/23\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 120\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.41lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.28d","brand":"Leonard Albert Paris","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44049576198399,"sku":"9781525576676","price":20.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_d100fc13-388a-48ca-a76a-29a77ba8f992.jpg?v=1685002303","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/jim-crow-also-lived-here-leonard-albert-paris-9781525576676","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
