Harvey Amani Whitfield is a professor of Black North American history at the University of Calgary. Donald Wright is a professor in the Department of Political Science at the University of New Brunswick.

"Whitfield’s work, the result of a deep immersion in the existing record, confronts and transcends the limitations of its disparate sources, using individual entries to collect and interpret biographical information about the lives of 1,465 people enslaved in the Maritimes in the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries."- Nina Reid-Maroney, Huron University College (H-Net Reviews) "The Biographical Dictionary of Enslaved Black People in the Maritimes has opened the door for scholars to answer the many questions Whitfield has helped illuminate. Thus, Whitfield’s crowning achievement lies not only in capturing the lives and experiences of otherwise marginalized people, especially in New Brunswick, but also in providing an entry point for generations of scholars seeking to further our understanding of slavery and the individuals who were ensnared by it." - G. Patrick O’Brien, University of Tampa (Journal of NB Studies) "Biographical Dictionary is a beautiful, sad, and poignant telling of the lives of those enslaved, created from a wide variety of sources … A treasure chest for anthropologists, sociologists, and historians who can process the raw data, this book is sure to provide work for years to come in these fields." - Rod Clare, Elon University (American Review of Canadian Studies)
