Setting the historical context of slavery\, war\, and settlement\, Cooper shows how the letters reveal Dalhousie’s biases.

While a copyeditor and writer at Halifax’s The Daily News\, where he worked for nearly two decades\, Saunders penned numerous columns grappling with difficult racial issues\, contributed to The Spirit of Africville (1992)\, and authored the book-length community profile Black and Bluenose (1999). Saunders also pioneered the “sword and soul” literary genre through his Imaro series of fantasy novels\, begun in 1981. His fiction was groundbreaking not merely for its anti-colonial reimagining of figures like Tarzan and Conan the Barbarian but also for its worldbuilding centered on Black characters and cultures. \n\n\n\nLearn more about Charles Saunders in the feature stories “The extraordinary inner world of Charles R. Saunders\, father of Black sword and soul” (Jon Tattrie\, CBC Nova Scotia) and “A Black Literary Trailblazer’s Solitary Death: Charles Saunders” (The New York Times).
