Drawing on contemporary press and government reports and individual correspondence and memoirs, Roy shows how British Columbians consolidated a "white man's province" from 1914 to 1941 by securing a virtual end to Asian immigration and placing stringent legal restrictions on Asian competition in the major industries of lumber and fishing. While its emphasis is on political action and politicians, the book also examines the popular pressure for such practices and gives some attention to the reactions of those most affected: the province's Chinese and Japanese residents. The Oriental Question is a critical investigation of a troubling period in Canadian history. It will be of vital interest to scholars of British Columbian and Canadian history and politics and of Asian, diaspora, ethnicity, and immigration studies. 606 $aChinese$zBritish Columbia$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aJapanese$zBritish Columbia$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aImmigrants$zBritish Columbia$xHistory$y20th century 607 $aBritish Columbia$xRace relations 607 $aBritish Columbia$xPolitics and government$y20th century 607 $aChina$xEmigration and immigration$xHistory$y20th century 607 $aJapan$xEmigration and immigration$xHistory$y20th century 607 $aBritish Columbia$xEmigration and immigration$xHistory$y20th century 615 0$aChinese$xHistory 615 0$aJapanese$xHistory 615 0$aImmigrants$xHistory 676 $a305.895/10711 700 $aRoy$b Patricia$f1939-$01631063 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910817580503321 996 $aThe Oriental question$93987884 997 $aUNINA
