Gerald Archambeau's remarkable and courageous adventures along the frontiers of race relations in Jamaica, Canada and the United States form the core of this autobiography of a man who met discrimination with dignity and blazed a new path for equality in the process.
In the telling, Archambeau takes a reader into places he or she would not otherwise know about. On these pages you encounter the experiences of Black people who transformed and ultimately enriched North American life - from the Golden Age of North American railways to the jazz clubs of Montreal, from the growth of cival aviation and those working in the industry to the personal trials and family challenges in times of cultural change and social upheaval.
As well as important social history and cultural portraits, a reader is carried forward by the humour, irony and drama laced throughout this true-life story.
Travel now with Gerald Archambeau as he encounters prime ministers and human rights officers, or as he challenges discrimination in the work place and even within the Black community itself, which he calls "the old soup warmed over." |
