In a powerful retelling of Angélique’s story―now supported by archival illustrations―Cooper builds on 15 years of research to shed new light on a rebellious Portuguese-born black woman who refused to accept her indentured servitude. At the same time, Cooper completely demolishes the myth of a benign, slave-free Canada, revealing a damning 200- year-old record of legally and culturally endorsed slavery.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Boutique, Pier 21","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51821925269782,"sku":"00492798","price":21.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0689\/8234\/1910\/files\/41H2RBJFFGL._SY445_SX342_ML2.jpg?v=1788464278","url":"https:\/\/shop.pier21.ca\/products\/the-hanging-of-angelique","provider":"Boutique, Pier 21 ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
