This talk examines Canada’s role\, particularly in Sub-Saharan Africa\, exploring the connections between race and the battle for allegiances between East and West. Canada’s peacekeeping legacy will be addressed.  \nAbout the speaker\n \nDr. Kevin Spooner  \nKevin Spooner is Professor of North American Studies and History at Wilfrid Laurier University\, where he is also the Director of the Laurier Centre for the Study of Canada.
