“Sisterhood versus Discrimination: Being a Black African Francophone Immigrant Woman in Montreal and Toronto”. in Sisters or Strangers? Immigrant Women, Ethnic, and Racialized Women in Canadian History
Spanning two hundred years of history from the nineteenth century to the 1990s, Sisters or Strangers? explores the complex lives of immigrant, ethnic, and racialized women in Canada. The volume deals with a cross-section of peoples – including Japanese, Chinese, Black, Aboriginal, Irish, Finnish, Ukrainian, Jewish, Mennonite, Armenian, and South Asian Hindu women – and diverse groups of women, including white settlers, refugees, domestic servants, consumer activists, nurses, wives, and mothers.
