  • "In this sequel to "A White Man's Province and The Oriental Question", Patricia E. Roy examines the climax of antipathy to Asians in Canada: the removal of all Japanese, including Canadian citizens, from the British Columbia coast in 1942. At the war's end, Canada "repatriated" many to Japan and did not allow their free return to the coast until 1949. The war, however, increased respect for Chinese Canadians. In 1947, the year of the Canadian Citizenship Act, British Columbia enfranchised them and the federal government softened its ban on Chinese immigration. "The Triumph of Citizenship" explains why Canada ignored the citizenship rights of Japanese Canadians and why it strictly limited Chinese immigration. It also shows how citizenship triumphed as Japanese Canadians and their supporters in the human rights movement halted the "repatriation" program and how Chinese Canadians successfully lobbied for the same rights as other Canadians to sponsor immigrants. For Chinese and Japanese Canadians, the general revision of immigration regulations in 1967 marked the final triumph of citizenship."
