La volonté de définir l’identité canadienne selon les critères du multiculturalisme engage les intellectuels canadiens-anglais à exclure de leurs conceptions la vision d’un Québec qui conçoit son histoire en termes postcoloniaux. Un opéra-jazz écrit par l’un des porte-parole du multiculturalisme canadien, George Elliott Clarke, présente une vision de l’avenir qui se veut plus « tolérante » envers le Québec. Même si le librettiste affirme qu’il ne s’agit que d’une simple histoire d’amour, les auteurs font ressortir ce qui, dans le texte de Québécité, relève pourtant d’une idéologie néocoloniale et patriarcale.

This paper explores a series of five poems from the collection Red (2011) by Nova Scotian writer George Elliott Clarke. It focuses on the central role that place, and more specifically, urban space, plays in the construction of the region he significantly renames “Africadia”, from the perspective of the black community. Although people of African descent have lived in the island since the seventeenth century –forming the vastest African community in Canada– this presence tends to be unacknowledged or deliberately erased –as is the case of the razing of the neighbourhood of Africville–. In these poems, Clarke vindicates this denied space, imbuing it with the lives and experiences of its Africadian inhabitants.
