In Canada, descendants of Chinese immigrants recently claimed the return of a head tax levied only on Chinese immigrants. Calling Power to Account uses the litigation around the Chinese Canadian head tax as a focal point for examining the historical, legal, and philosophical issues raised by such claims." "Calling Power to Account suggest that our legal systems can hope to play a part in responding to their own legacy of past injustice only when they recognize the full array of issues posed by the head tax case."--Jacket.ChineseLegal status, laws, etcHistoryCongressesReparations for historical injusticesCanadaCongressesChineseTaxationLaw and legislationCanadaHistoryCongressesRace discriminationLaw and legislationCanadaHistoryCongressesEmigration and immigration lawCanadaHistoryCongressesReparations for historical injusticesCanadaCongressesHistory.Conference papers and proceedings.Chinese CanadiansChineseLegal status, laws, etc.HistoryReparations for historical injusticesChineseTaxationLaw and legislationHistoryRace discriminationLaw and legislationHistoryEmigration and immigration lawHistory342.7108/73Dyzenhaus David612287Moran Mayo1960-MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910812903203321Calling power to account4089738UNINA
