Writer, historian and poet Afua Cooper tells the astonishing story of Marie-Joseph Angelique, a slave woman convicted of starting a fire that destroyed a large part of Montreal in April 1734 and condemned to die a brutal death. In a powerful retelling of Angelique’s story — now supported by archival illustrations — Cooper builds on 15 years of research to shed new light on a rebellious Portuguese-born black woman who refused to accept her indentured servitude. At the same time, Cooper completely demolishes the myth of a benign, slave-free Canada, revealing a damning 200-year-old record of legally and culturally endorsed slavery.
