Karina Vernon and Mahmoud Ababneh discuss The Black Prairie Archives: An Anthology, Vernon’s latest work that recovers a Black Canadian history that includes oral and written work ranging from nineteenth century Black fur traders to contemporary Black voices such as lyrics by Cadence Weapon. Vernon’s work challenges the myth of Eurocentrism in the Prairies and the limits of representation to fracture Can Lit as we still know it now. This interview was originally recorded in spring 2021.
