Great Fortune Dream (Paperback)
Language: English
Published by Caitlin Press, Saint George, 2016
ISBN 10: 1987915038 ISBN 13: 9781987915037
Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. In 1858, gold was discovered in the Fraser River. News of this discovery travelled to the Pearl River Delta, where, in the aftermath of the Opium Wars, many Chinese sought to escape the poverty, overcrowding, political unrest and even slavery-invaders from western Asia captured and shipped many Chinese to South America as "piglets". This tumultuous period marked the beginning of Chinese migration to Canada. At first, white settlers welcomed the cheap labour provided by these "coolie labourers", but as the gold rushes came to an end, so did this period of relative peace. Soon, white settlers viewed the Chinese settlers' acceptance of lower wages for longer hours of work as a threat to their livelihoods. Anti-Chinese organisations formed and pressed politicians to exclude Chinese from government work and restrict Chinese immigration. After British Columbia entered confederation in 1871, politicians would not receive support from white settlers unless they condemned Chinese migrants as "the grasshoppers" of BC, a plague that would eventually devour the province.For the century that followed, segregation and discrimination against the Chinese would be a hallmark of white citizens of Canada. This book describes Chinese migration and life in Canada according to the four periods of Canada's policies on Chinese immigration, ranging from Free Entry to Exclusion. In 1967, the Canadian government adopted a universal immigration policy, ending these discriminatory laws and advocating multiculturalism. It is also the story of the changing relationship with China, both for Chinese migrants and for other Canadians. What began as a population of displaced Chinese migrants working to save their great fortune for a better life back in China evolved into a community of Chinese Canadians, one with roots firmly planted in the history and culture of Canada. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
