Overview
White British Columbians directed recurring outbursts of prejudice against the Chinese, Japanese, and East Indians who lived among them between the mid-nineteenth and mid-twentieth centuries. Public pressure on local, provincial, and federal governments led to discriminatory policies in the field of immigration and employment, and culminated in the forced relocation of west coast Japanese residents during World War II. In White Canada Forever Peter Ward reveals the full extent and periodic virulence of west coast racism.Book Details
