Loyalist Connections Podcast

Nova Scotia is home to many historical black communities due to the resettlement of Black Loyalists, The Jamaican Maroons, the Black Refugees from the war of 1812, and Caribbean Migrants. In this podcast along with our special guests, we discuss the legacy of slavery, segregation, and race-based discrimination in the region and identify how it has shaped contemporary Black communities. Through a penetrating analysis of the region's past we come to new findings and understandings of ‘who’ is African Nova Scotian and ‘what’ it means to be African Nova Scotian in the context of colonial Atlantic British North America and contemporary African Nova Scotians.
