UBC Press / Asian Canadian History A White Man’s Province British Columbia Politicians and Chinese and Japanese Immigrants 1858–1914 Patricia E. Roy “We are not strong enough to assimilate races so alien from us in their habits … We are afraid they will swamp our civilization as such.” – Nanaimo Free Press, 1914 A White Man’s Province examines how British Columbians changed their attitudes towards Asian immigrants from one of toleration in colonial times to vigorous hostility by the turn of the century and describes how politicians responded to popular cries to halt Asian immigration and restrict Asian activities in the province.

Roy The Oriental Question continues Patricia A. Roy’s study into why British Columbians – and many Canadians from outside the province – were historically so opposed to Asian immigration. 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.

UBC Press / Asian Canadian History The Triumph of Citizenship The Japanese and Chinese in Canada, 1941–67 Patricia E. Roy Patricia E. Roy examines the climax of antipathy to Asians in Canada: the removal of all Japanese Canadians from the BC coast in 1942. Their free return was not allowed until 1949. Yet the war also brought increased respect for Chinese Canadians: they were enfranchised in 1947, and the federal government softened its ban on Chinese immigration. The Triumph of Citizenship explains why Canada ignored the rights of Japanese Canadians and placed strict limits on Chinese immigration. It explores how Japanese Canadians and their supporters in the human rights movement managed to halt “repatriation” to Japan, and how Chinese Canadians successfully lobbied for the same rights as other Canadians to sponsor immigrants. The final triumph of citizenship came in 1967, when immigration regulations were overhauled and the last remnants of discrimination were removed.
