The book From Discrimination to Integration: A History of Chinese Immigration in Canada, which explores the history of Chinese immigration to Canada from the 1850s to the present day. This book highlights the experiences of Chinese immigrants, their families, and communities in Canada, and their contributions to Canadian society and culture.
The book's structure is divided into five chapters. The introduction provides an overview of the book's purpose and scope, and a brief history of Chinese immigration to Canada. The first chapter discusses early Chinese immigration to Canada, including push and pull factors, the building of the Canadian Pacific Railway, and the discrimination and exclusion faced by early Chinese communities in Canada.
The second chapter explores Chinese immigration during the Exclusion Era (1923-1947), which saw the introduction of the Chinese Immigration Act of 1923, life under the exclusion policy, and resistance and challenges faced by Chinese-Canadian families and communities.
The third chapter analyzes the repeal of the Exclusion Act and changing immigration policies (1947-1967), which led to the arrival of more Chinese immigrants and the growth of Chinatowns and Chinese communities in Canada.
The fourth chapter focuses on Chinese immigration since 1967, which includes the introduction of the points system for immigration, trends in Chinese immigration to Canada, settlement experiences and challenges for recent immigrants, and the role of Chinese Canadians in Canadian society and politics.
The final chapter discusses Chinese-Canadian communities and culture, including the development of Chinese-Canadian culture, Chinese-Canadian organizations and institutions, the contributions of Chinese Canadians to Canadian society and culture, and the challenges and opportunities facing Chinese-Canadian communities today.
The conclusion summarizes the key points of the manuscript, reflects on the history of Chinese immigration to Canada, and draws implications for the future of Chinese-Canadian relations.
