Ce livre retrace le parcours remarquable d'une grande figure de l'histoire canadienne, James Douglas, en mettant en lumière un aspect longtemps méconnu de son identité son héritage afro-canadien. Né en 1803 à Demerara, en Guyane britannique (l'actuelle Guyana), James Douglas est le fils d'un marchand écossais impliqué dans le commerce des plantations de canne à sucre et d'une femme noire libre d'ascendance barbado-créole. Issu de ce métissage singulier, il s'impose au fil du temps comme l'un des plus hauts responsables politiques de son époque et demeure aujourd'hui reconnu comme l'un des pères fondateurs de la Colombie-Britannique.
