Found throughout the transatlantic world, fugitive slave advertisements demonstrate the ubiquity of African resistance to slavery. Besides noting things like names, accents, languages, and skills, they also recounted details that disclosed the regional origins and ethnicities of the runaways. Although detailed analysis of fugitive slave advertisements have been produced since the 1970s, Canadian slavery has been conspicuously absent from such studies. This article exposes and challenges Canada’s overwhelming absence from slavery studies more generally, recognizing the ways that the Underground Railroad has been enshrined in national curriculum and popular imagination to erase the colonial violence of Euro-Canadian settler histories. Challenging the erasure of Canadian slavery, fugitive slave advertisement will be analyzed to reveal the complex heterogeneity of the enslaved population of African descent. Focusing on Quebec from the moment of British conquest (1760), this article argues that this heterogeneity was a hallmark of the enslaved population of Quebec, which was composed of African Canadian, African American, African Caribbean, African-born, and indigenous enslaved peoples. The article then poses directions for future research that can further explore the cultural, linguistic, spiritual, and social implications of this extraordinary diversity.

遍布跨大西洋世界的逃亡奴隶广告展示了非洲对奴隶制的反抗无处不在。除了注意姓名、口音、语言和技能等内容外，他们还讲述了一些细节，揭示了逃跑者的地区起源和种族。尽管自 1970 年代以来就已经对逃亡奴隶广告进行了详细分析，但此类研究显然没有涉及加拿大奴隶制。本文更广泛地揭露和挑战加拿大对奴隶制研究的压倒性缺席，认识到地下铁路已被载入国家课程和大众想象力以消除欧洲 - 加拿大定居者历史上的殖民暴力。挑战消除加拿大奴隶制，将对逃亡奴隶广告进行分析，以揭示非洲裔被奴役人口的复杂异质性。从英国征服 (1760) 的那一刻起，本文就关注魁北克，认为这种异质性是魁北克被奴役人口的一个标志，该人口由非裔加拿大人、非裔美国人、非洲加勒比人、非洲出生和土著被奴役人民组成。 . 然后，文章提出了未来研究的方向，可以进一步探索这种非凡多样性的文化、语言、精神和社会影响。非洲加勒比地区、非洲出生的和土著被奴役的人民。然后，文章提出了未来研究的方向，可以进一步探索这种非凡多样性的文化、语言、精神和社会影响。非洲加勒比地区、非洲出生的和土著被奴役的人民。然后，文章提出了未来研究的方向，可以进一步探索这种非凡多样性的文化、语言、精神和社会影响。
