Clarke's range is extraordinary: he canvasses African-Canadian writers who have tracked Black invisibility, highlights the racist bias of our true crime writing, reveals the whitewashing of African-Canadian perspectives in universities, and excoriates the political failure to reckon with the tragedy of Africville, the once-thriving, \"Africadian\" community whose last home was razed in 1970. For Clarke, Canada's relentless celebration of itself as a site of \"multicultural humanitarianism\" has blinded White leaders and citizens to the country's many crimes, at home and abroad, thus blacking out the historical record. These essays yield an alternate history of Canada, a corrective revision that Clarke describes as \"inking words on snow, evanescent and ephemeral.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e George Elliott Clarke\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1550656074\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781550656077\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Vehicule Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/01\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 340\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.83lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.48h x 4.88w x 1.02d","brand":"George Elliott Clarke","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44071640531199,"sku":"9781550656077","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_61f52ef7-b6d8-4a62-b5d3-5e7befe70300.jpg?v=1685437297","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/whiteout-george-elliott-clarke-9781550656077","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
