David Austin: Black Radicalism in Canada

Racial conflict and the Black Power movement of the 1960s have long been seen as American phenomena, but in 1968, Montreal's black activists rose up in protest against racial discrimination and exclusion. 

Their struggle is documented in David Austin's book Fear of a Black Nation: Race, Sex and Security in Sixties Montreal.  David Austin sits down with Piya Chattopadhyay for a feature interview on Canada's history of black radicalism.
