Barrington Walker

Barrington Walker is Associate Professor in the Department of History at Queen’s University. His primary research interests are Black Canadian History, the histories of “race” and immigration. The idea for his book, Race on Trial, was born following the suspicion that hung over black men his age following a robbery in Toronto when he was a student at the university there. Following this event, he decided to trace the connection between blacks and the criminal justice system, which culminated in the book. He can be reached at walkerb@queensu.ca.
