Commodore Books
Commodore Books is the first Black Canadian literary press in Western Canada.[1] Founded in 2006 by Wayde Compton, Karina Vernon and David Chariandy, this press is dedicated to publishing work relevant to Black people in Canada.
Adventures in Debt Collection, by Vancouver-based author Fred Booker, is Commodore's inaugural title. Addena Sumter-Freitag's play Stay Black and Die, an account of growing up Black in Winnipeg during the 1950s and 1960s, is Commodore's second title.
The company takes its name from the Commodore, a paddle steamer which transported British Columbia's first Black settlers from San Francisco to Victoria during the Fraser Canyon Gold Rush.
