Abstract: Brief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
This is a systematic analysis of the relationships between
Vancouver's Chinese and European communities from the late 1880s to about 1980. The data
focus on immigration policies of the Canadian government and the numerous forms of
discrimination to which the Chinese immigrants were subjected from their earliest
settlements in Vancouver to ca. 1980. Chapter 1 presents a general exposition of the idea
of 'race', while Chapters 2-7, arranged in chronological order from 1875 to 1980, deal with
the development of the racial category 'Chinese', by the Canadian government, the concept
of Chinatown as viewed through the European imagination, the exploitation of the race idea
in British Columbia and its implications for government practices, urban renewal and
revitalization of the Chinatown area, and the development of radically new forms of
neighborhood targeting that took place in the 1970s.
