actually has the potential to be of great interest to many others besides. Yet the analysis here does not really do justice to the topic. Racism is taken as a constant, whereas in all western countries it fluctuated in intensity, particularly in the course of the nineteenth century. Abolitionism is dealt with largely in terms of formal organizations and personalities. The author is very aware of the broader context, and indeed in the British case has called on primary sources, mainly in the form of provincial newspapers, to enlarge our knowledge. Yet the great themes and paradoxes that have preoccupied Eric Williams, Eric Foner, James Macpherson, David Davis, Seymour Drescher and others and have generated such intellectual excitement in the last few decades -are absent in these pages. Indeed, of the three secondary sources that the author relies on most for the British background one, is over twenty years old and another was published in 1926. In the American case, George Frederickson's 197 1 book, The Black Image in the White Mind, is put to good use. The author's subject is clearly nineteenth-cen tury Ontario, not the Western World, but it seems a lost opportunity not to have called on more of the rich body of ideas developed to explain race, abolitionism and the activities of ex-slaves in other circum-Atlantic contexts.
