Beschreibung: This collection of 6 documents covers the time period from the middle of the nineteenth century to the 1980s with an emphasis on some of the major Chinatowns located in several Canadian cities. Much of the file deals with the migration of the Chinese to Canada and the restrictive immigration policies applied to them by the Canadian government. Nearly all the documents address the discriminatory and racist practices imposed on the Chinese immigrants by the Caucasian Canadian society. Probably the best general coverage on the Chinese in Canada is presented in Li, which deals with the period from their first arrival in Canada in 1858 to about 1985. Lai is a definitive history of Chinatowns in Canada from 1858-ca. 1985, with particular reference to Victoria, British Columbia. Works describing specific Chinatowns in specific cities begins with Thompson, which is an examination of the history and social organization of the Chinese population in Toronto, Canada. Anderson contributes a systematic analysis of the relationship between Vancouver's Chinese and Canadian communities from the late 1880s to about 1980. Hoe presents a socio-historical study of the structural changes taking place in various Chinese communities in British Columbia and Alberta (Calgary and Edmonton), from the mid-nineteenth century to ca. 1972
