In Chapter One of this book, the author begins with a quote then continues with, “This is a meditation on the place of Black Canadas in contemporary discourses of Black diasporas and the Black Atlantic.” Clearly in my mind, meaning a treatise on Black men and women in Canadian history. Continuing, a clear, academic feel arises. This is not to say the book (I listened to the audio version) was boring. Far from it. The author Rinaldo Walcott (and the narrator, Nigel Shawn Williams), created a very interesting reading on the view of Black culture in Canada by way of the use of literature and music and other cultural aspects. One chapter of interest is Chapter Five on the politics of 3rd cinema in Canada. Featured is the Canadian film director, Clement Virgo and discussion of his first featured film, Rude. He states that Black bodies (physical body) had gone MIA in public debate. "The Black body in western discourse is a marked body--marked with a history of enslavement and disenfranchisement." The author goes on to say that discourses concerning Blackness shifted since the 1950s and the 60s and 70s and “Black post-modernity is an unsentimental approach to addressing the complex and varied history of diasporic Black peoples.” There is some comparison and discussion of Blacks in America, Britain, and other parts of the world in a historical sense. The title of this book, “Black Like Who?” deserves some pondering.
