| Zusammenfassung: | "Eddie Carvery was born in Africville, Nova Scotia, when the African-Nova Scotian seaside village in Halifax was midway through its third century. As a teenager, he watched his world torn down as his friends and family were compelled to leave. After Africville was bulldozed in the 1960s under the guise of 'urban renewal,' Eddie Carvery returned to the site of his former hometown and pitched a tent in protest. After forays into careers as a community organizer, sheet-metal worker, and fisherman, Eddie returned to the ruins of Africville in 1970 to start his protest for the reclamation of his people's land and history. Forty years, three families, seven heart attacks, and numerous attempts on his life later, he remains living on the land where he was born. He's been shot at, had his residence set on fire, and been run off his land countless times. His struggles with his demons of addiction and violence have cost him his families and his entire adult life. He's tried to leave, but always he returned to Africville. Sometimes accompanied by his brother, Victor, and sometimes by his friend and bodyguard, a dog called Spike, Eddie has lived as a virtual hermit in a small trailer across from the results of the urban renewal: a dog park called Seaview. All traces of his childhood community are gone, except for him -the last resident of Africville. There, through the solitude and frozen winters, he's walked the long walk to healing, rooted in the land of his ancestors. Dismissed as a squatter, he stayed in Africville. Searching through the ruins of his community and his battered mind, he's rebuilt himself and never given up his dream of Africville. In this riveting account, Jon Tattrie captures the story of Eddie Carvery and his struggle for survival and, ultimately, justice. Jon Tattrie is a journalist and writer in Halifax, Nova Scotia. His nonfiction books include Dan Paul, Mi'kmaq Elder; Cornwallis: The Violent Birth of Halifax; and Redemption Songs: How Bob Marley's Nova Scotia Song Lights the Way Past Racism. He is also the author of two novels: Black Snow: a novel of the Halifax Explosion; and Limerance"-- |
