Revisiting Human Rights
It has been a decade since scholars of Canadian human rights history gathered to share research on the transition of civil liberties and other rights discourses in Canada to the universalism of hum
Duncan Ryūken Williams. American Sutra
Sometimes the most interesting stories arise out of serendipity. In the case of American Sutra: A Story of Faith and Freedom in the Second World War, the text that inspired the book was a decades-old diary written by the father of the author’s doctoral supervisor—a man who served as a Buddhist priest at Manzanar, one of ten incarceration camps for Americans of Japanese ancestry. It was sandwiched among letters and dissertation drafts. As the auth…
Writing Rights into the “New” Political History
The “new political history” can be enhanced and expanded with a focus on human rights. While the “old political history” was often politics abstracted from other elements of the historical experience, as Steven Pincus and William Novak describe, the “new political history” emphasizes structures of power and the use of a broader range of sources. A focus on human rights has the potential to alter how we understand Canadian history. In particular, …
Vocal but not particularly strong”? Air Canada’s ill-fated vacation package to Rhodesia and South Africa and the anti-apartheid movement in Canada
In mid-1971, an advertisement from Air Canada (then a Canadian Crown corporation) and South African Airways appeared in the pages of the Globe and Mail, Canada’s national newspaper. It offered prospective vacationers the chance of a lifetime: the opportunity to tour the game parks of South Africa and Rhodesia, including the famous Kruger National Park, with stays afterward in various African cities. News of Air Canada’s “opportunity” was met with…
Bringing China In
This article explores the history of Canadian foreign relations with China via the perspective of F. Andrew Brewin, a longtime New Democratic Party (NDP) politician. Brewin was an ardent champion of multilateralism in the 1960s and this approach was reflected in his views on China. These thoughts are most eloquently expressed in the debates in the House of Commons on the recognition and the admission of the People’s Republic of China (PRC) into t…

A Tragedy of Democracy
A Segunda Guerra Mundial, os nipo-canadenses e a primeira fase do Movimento pelos Direitos Humanos no Canadá
This paper studies the segregationist policies of the Canadian government with respect to the people of Japanese origin in Canada in the context of the Second World War. It also studies the strategies and political alliances of these groups to prevent the disintegration of their communities and the deportation of its members. The case study of Japanese-Canadians helps to illuminate the emergence in Canada of a broader fight for Human Rights
Voices Raised in Protest
The uprooting and confinement of Japanese Americans and Japanese Canadians during the Second World War constituted the worst violations of citizenship rights in twentieth-century North America. Voices Raised in Protest examines the meaning and impact of these actions and how they diverged in Canada and the United States. Many North Americans opposed their governments' wartime policies toward their fellow citizens of Japanese extraction. In this t…

Nikkei Loyalty and Resistance in Canada and the United States, 1942-1947
Because the overwhelming majority of us are innocent, we protest against restrictions based on our racial ancestry; we protest against the fine technical distinctions of word and deed to cloak the facts; we protest against the arbitrary judgments on our loyalties; we protest against the indifference to and disallowance of our human qualities ... all because we happen to be of Japanese descent."Racialism is a Disease," Nisei Affairs (January 1946
Religious Organizations and the “Relocation” of Persons of Japanese Ancestry in North America
While both Canadian and American historians have offered a variety of explanations for the causes of the relocation of persons of Japanese ancestry during World War II, they show remarkable unity in the belief that few Americans or Canadians opposed the removal, or sought to protect the rights of Japanese-American and Japanese-Canadian citizens or non-citizens. This is not, however, entirely true. For example, the Cooperative Committee for Japane…
‘We are not asking you to open wide the gates for Chinese immigration’
The Chinese Immigration Act was initially welcomed by many Canadians, especially those on the West Coast, and including labour groups, religious organizations, and federal and provincial politicians. Ostensibly designed to protect the rights of white workers, the Chinese Immigration Act was really intended to stem the Oriental invasion that was thought to be threatening the racial purity of Canada. By the Second World War, however, attitudes towa…

Left History features articles from a variety of theoretical approaches; these include feminist, marxist, and postmodernist deliberations on topics such as race, ethnicity, class, gender, sexuality, culture, the state, labour, the environment, theory, and method
