Many sources, either unpublished or available only in learned journals, are difficult to procure. The teacher would profit by ordering these pieces, and having the library assemble them in booklet form. The best introductions to the subject are Margaret Ormsby, British Columbia: A History (Toronto. Macmillan, 1958); Paul Phillips, No Power Greater: A Century of Labour in British Columbia (Vancouver. B.C. Federation of Labour and Boag Foundation, 1967); Martin Robin, The Rush for Spoils: The Company Province, 1871-1933 (Toronto, McClelIand and Stewart, 1972); and Robert Craig Brown and George Ramsay Cook, Canada 1896-1921: A Nation Transformed (Toronto. McClelland and Stewart, 1974). Among the collections of essays on Canada's ethnic groups, the most useful on Chinese and Japanese in Canada are John Norris, ed., Strangers Entertained: A History of the Ethnic Groups of British Columbia (Vancouver issued by British Columbia Centennial `71 Committee, 1971); and Morris Davis and J.F. Krauter, eds., The Other Canadians: Profiles of Six Minorities (Toronto, Methuen, 1971). See also James Norton, In the Sea of Sterile Mountains: The Chinese in British Columbia (North Vancouver, J.J. Douglas, 1975.) One of the finer treatments of the subject is not readily available: Stanford Lyman's 1962 CBU radio lectures, sponsored by the University of British Columbia Department of Extension, are procurible from them only in xeroxed reproduction. Lyman stresses the continental context and the sociological aspects of anti-Oriental agitation; a collection of his essays is published under the title The Asian in the West Social Sciences and Humanities Publication (Reno, Western Studies Center, Desert Research Institute, University of Nevada System, 1971), though not all the essays included are germane to this topic. Lyman's investigation of the anti-Orientalism of the American labour movement is enhanced by reading Herbert Hill's penetrating essay, "Anti-Oriental Agitation and the Rise of Working-Class Racism", Society, vol. 10, 1973, pp. 43-48. A well-written article by Henry Angus stresses the peculiarities of Canadian legislation aimed at Orientals: "The Legal Status in British Columbia of Residents of Oriental Race and Their Descendants", Canadian Bar Review, vol. 9, January 1931, pp. 1-12. Several older works remain servicable: for instance, P.C. Campbell. Chinese Coolie Emigration to Countries Within the British Empire (New York, Negro University Press, 1969); Ch'eng T'ien-Fang, Oriental Immigration in Canada (Shanghai, Commercial Press, 1931); C.H. Young and H.R.Y. Reid, The Japanese Canadians (Toronto, University of Toronto Press, 1938); and C.J. Woodsworth. Canada and the Orient (Toronto, Macmillan, 1941).
A number of articles on the subject of Chinese immigration should be read: they are John A. Monro, "British Columbia and the `Chinese Evil': Canada's First Anti-Asiatic Immigration Law", Journal of Canadian Studies, vol. 6, no. 4, November 1971, pp. 42-51; Chuen-Yan Lai, "Chinese Attempts to Discourage Emigration to Canada: Some Findings from the Chinese Archives in Victoria", B.C. Studies, vol. 18, Summer 1973, pp. 33-49; and S.W. Kung, "Chinese Immigration into North America", Queen's Quarterly, vol. 68, no. 4, Winter 1962, pp. 610-620. Two articles touch on the subject of Japanese immigration and Laurier's dream of reciprocal trade between Canada and Japan: they are R.J. Gowen, "Canada and the Myth of the Japan Market," 1896-1911, Pacific Historical Review, vol. 39, February 1970, pp. 63-83; and M.E. Hallett, "A Governor-General's [Earl Gray] Views on Oriental Immigration to British Columbia," 1904-1911, B.C. Studies vol. 14. Summer 1972, pp. 51-72. The Vancouver riots of 1907 are covered by Howard H. Sugimoto in his "The Vancouver Riots of 1907: A Canadian Episode" in H. Conroy and S. Miyakawa, eds., East Across the Pacific (Santa Barbara, American Bibliographical Center Clio Press, 1972, pp. 92-126). and "The Vancouver Riot and its International Significance". Pacific Northwest Quarterly, vol. 64, no 4, October 1973, pp. 163-174; and by Robert E. Wynne in the arcticle based on his dissertation, "American Labour Leaders and the Vancouver Anti-Oriental Riot", Pacific Northwest Quarterly, vol. 67, no. 4. October 1966, pp. 172-179. Patricia E. Roy has examined anti-Orientalism in two specific periods; see her "The Oriental Menace in British Columbia", in S.M. Trofimenkoff, ed., The Twenties in Western Canada, - papers of the Western Studies Canadian Conference, March 1972. Mercury Series paper 1, (Ottawa, History Division, National Museum of Man, 1972); and "Educating the East: British Columbia and the Oriental Question in the Interwar Years", B.C. Studies, no. 18, Summer 1973. pp 50-69, and Gunther Baureiss, "The Chinese Community in Calgary", Alberta Historical Review, vol. 22, no. 2, Spring 1974, pp. 1-8.
The Vancouver Public Library has also prepared one of its "Eye-Eye Slide Kits" on the subject of the Chinese in British Columbia. Janice Patton has utilized material aired on the Pierre Berton Show and Berton's own contemporary magazine accounts of the evacuation to assemble The Exodus of the Japanese (Toronto. McClelland and Stewart, 1973). Berton was among the few Canadians who opposed the treatment of Japanese Canadians at the time of relocation.
