  • This chapter considers the origins of Black Canadian novels and novelists from 1850 to 1990. It attends to the factors that influenced the production, dissemination, and preservation of novels, whether in Canada or elsewhere, including their authors’ relationships to the Black Diaspora. Included is a consideration of the category of “first,” and the difficulties of defining what actually constitutes the “first” Black Canadian novel. Novelists covered include Martin Delany, Amelia Etta Hall Johnson, Walter H. Stowers and co-author William H. Andrews, Chief Buffalo Child Long Lance, Austin Clarke, Gershom Williams, Truman Green, Frederick Ward, Daniel Hill, and Charles R. Saunders.
