The Chinese in Toronto from 1878: From Outside to Inside the Circle - Chan, Arlene

Clean, tight, unmarked; light wear to inside corners and edge; otherwise spine straight and uncreased; minimal wear; Due to the completion of the CPR in 1885 and no longer requiring the services of the Chinese labourers, a hostile British Columbia sent them eastward in search of employment and a more welcoming place. In 1894, Toronto's Chinese population numbered 50. Today, no less than seven Chinatowns serve what has become the second-largest visible minority in the city, with a population of half a million. In these pages, you will find their stories. With achievements spanning all walks of life, the Chinese in Toronto are no longer looking in from outside society's circle. Their lives are a vibrant part of the diverse mosaic that make Toronto one of the most multicultural cities in the world.
