		Mary Ann Shadd, teacher, abolitionist, and promoter of fl emigration to Canada, left the United States in September 1851 for the small farming village of Windsor, Ontario.' She lived in Canada for eleven years, working as a teacher of fugitive slaves and as the primary editor of the Provincial Freeman, a fl Canadian newspaper.
		Shadd's experience as a fl activist in Canada and her views and strategies about how best to build fl community encourage historians to reflect further upon W E. DuBois's articulation later in the century of the existence of a "double consciousness" among fls as they struggled within a Western, Eurocentric system of domination.
		Shadd, therefore, emerges as a complicated heroine who reminds us that activists are not unidimensional individuals who lead linear or simple lives, nor are they unencumbered by the ideological currents of their generation.

	Unfolded Hands: Class Suicide and the Insurgent Intellectual Praxis of Mary Ann Shadd
		Shadd’s rhetorical skill and intellectual focus are already in evidence as she shifts agency onto the reader by positioning her critique as a series of questions while retaining the opposition between collective welfare and individual gratification as the ultimate determination for any particular answer.
		Shadd held that the Bibbs’ endorsement of segregated institutions had little or nothing to do with the collective welfare of the fugitive population and was, instead, linked directly to the financial windfall that they had accumulated in their positions as unquestioned leaders and public representatives of the fugitive community.
		Shadd viewed fugitive migration to these sites as an explicit challenge to an emerging American empire and therefore as efforts “to preserve those countries from the ravages of slavery, [which] should be the motive [for] their settlement by colored free men” (37).
