In the fall of 2017, the students in ENG 2155: Slave & Neo-Slave Narratives read Flight to Canada by Ismael Reed. All agreed that we would have better understood and appreciated the novel had we had access to copious, detailed footnotes. To solve this problem for future readers of this novel, we created this Web site of annotations to accompany the text.
