الشغب الأبيض.. أعمال الشغب المعادية للآسيويين في فانكوفر

Winner of the City of Vancouver Book Award and the Dr. Edgar Wickberg Award for Best Book on Chinese Canadian History (Chinese Canadian Historical Society of British Columbia); A finalist for the Bill Duthie Booksellers' Choice Award Essays and photographs documenting the 1907 Anti-Asian Riots in the context of contemporary anti-Asian sentiment. _The White Riots: The Vancouver Anti-Asian Riots of 1907_ explores the circumstances leading up to a demonstration and march in Vancouver, Canada, organized by the Asian Exclusion League, its impact, and the ensuing mass attack on the city's Chinese and Japanese Canadian communities. This book is considered a symbol of the era of systemic racism, as it reveals the social and political environment at that time, when racially marginalized communities were targeted through laws and acts of violence, in addition to physical acts of exclusion and violence. Based on the “360 Riot Walk” project, a 360-degree video tour by artist and writer Henry Tsang, “White Riot” offers a multi-dimensional perspective on this pivotal moment in the history of racially marginalized communities, and a cultural and social context for understanding the current wave of anti-Asian sentiment. The book includes color photographs of the riots by Tsang, as well as photographs of contemporary Vancouver where the riots took place. Tsang and others' essays address the colonial era that preceded and followed the 1907 riots, as well as the issues faced by Chinese and Japanese communities (and other racially marginalized communities) in North America today. "White Riot" asks the question: In the current spirit of anti-racism and decolonization, what will it take to reconcile our collective history with the legacy of white supremacy?
