A Plea for Emigration; or Notes of Canada West by Mary Ann Shadd

The abolitionist Mary Ann Shadd's pamphlet A Plea for Emigration; or Notes of Canada West is, as the title promises, a settler guide designed to inform prospective immigrants of conditions in their proposed new home. But whereas most such works were addressed to potential white emigrants to North America, Shadd's aimed to entice black Americans to emigrate to Canada.

Phanuel Antwi is Assistant Professor of English at the University of British Columbia.
