“Where Are You From?”: Growing Up African-Canadian in Vancouver
Open accessAbstract
Metro Vancouver is a diverse city where half the residents identify as people of colour, but only one per cent of the population is racialized as Black. In this context, African-Canadians are both hypervisible as Black, and invisible as distinct communities. Informed by feminist and critical race theories, and based on interviews with women and men who grew up in Vancouver, "Where Are You From?" recounts the unique experiences of growing up in a place where the second generation seldom sees other people who look like them, and yet are inundated with popular representations of Blackness from the United States.

“Further, Lysandra’s perception is tied to colourism—the privileging of light-skinned racialized minorities over those who have darker skin (Hunter, 2007)—which has also affected other Black-Canadians’ police encounters (see Creese, 2020, p. 138).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
