| Mary Ann Shaddâ 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 from Britain or continental Europe, Shaddâ s aimed to entice black Americans to emigrate to Canada. The introduction and background materials included in the volume situate Shaddâ s pamphlet in its political and cultural context, and in the context of Shaddâ s own remarkable life as an abolitionist, womenâ s rights activist, writer, and educator. |
