In My Sister's House is the first book in the upcoming new series of original chapters by Black Canadian women and about Black Canadian women, taking up different, but interrelated topics. The book gathers new theorization by and about Black women in Canada across a number of topics where Black women's scholarship remains underrepresented.
In this volume, scholars such as Njoki Wane, rosalind hampton, and Natasha Henry explore theories and application of Black feminism locating them squarely within the Canadian context and offering insights into how Black Canadian feminist praxis expands our thinking within this locale and globally. It is one of the only collected works to focus on Black women's scholarship in Canada on the question of Black Canadian visions of feminist theory and praxis.
"Odozor, Brady, and Wane invite readers into Black Canadian feminisms through scholarship rooted in lived truth. As a first-generation Nigerian immigrant woman in Canada, I learned early that Blackness is the primary lens through which I am seen and judged. This collection names this unyielding reality, while refusing its limits. It affirms Black women's intellectual, historical, and communal wisdom, offering both a mirror and a refuge for those who know they are and where they come from." —Iyanuoluwa Akinrinola, OCT, M.Ed., Instructor, School of Education, Trent University
"In In My Sister's House, the editors reveal what many instinctively understand: Black women's wisdom, strength, and leadership are shaped and sustained by the supportive spaces they create together. As a Black woman scholar dedicated to equity and justice, I found this book deeply affirming and urgently necessary. It honours the lived experiences and mutual care of Black women, highlighting sisterhood as both a sanctuary and a source of transformation, speaking to the heart and to the ongoing work of justice and collective flourishing." —Dr. Judy Alston, Chair and Professor, Department of Educational Leadership, Miami University, and Co-Executive Editor of Educational Administration Quarterly
