Fijian Indians in Canada: The Structural Determinants of a New Community (Immigrant Communities and Ethnic Minorities in the United States and Canada)

Fijian Indians in Canada: The Structural Determinants of a New Community (Immigrant Communities and Ethnic Minorities in the United States and Canada) Book Description

This study focuses on Fijian immigrants of Indian origin who settled in Vancouver, British Columbia. Like many Pacific Coast cities, Vancouver and its province had an unfortunate heritage of bitter race relations with Asians from the turn of the century, a factor exacerbated by a sharp rise of Asian immigration to Vancouver in the early 1970s, particularly "East Indians" - people of South Asian origin like the Sikhs. No Fijian Indians had entered Canada before 1964; virtually all had arrived after 1972. Still centered on the 1970s experience of the Fijians, this study has been entirely rewritten to incorporate new insights and information.
