Contesting white surpremacy school segregation, anti-racism, and the making of Chinese Canadians

Stanley, Timothy John 1953- (Author).

Summary: "In 1922-23, Chinese students in Victoria, British Columbia, went on strike to protest a school board's attempt to impose racial segregation. Their resistance was unexpected at the time, and it runs against the grain of mainstream accounts of Asian exclusion in Canada, which tend to ignore the agency of the excluded.
