Vancouver, BC: UBC Press, 2005. Soft cover. Good. Clean, tight, unmarked; small tear to upper edge of ffep; light wear to inside corners; light wear to covers; otherwise spine straight and uncreased; light general wear; The year 1989 marks the 75th anniversary of a dramatic episode in Canadian history, namely a remarkable and determined attempt made by a group of Sikh peasants to challenge Canada's immigration laws. The author produced the first thoroughly researched study of a stirring event, basing it on official accounts from both the Canadian and Indian sides, as well as the reminiscences of the only passenger still alive at the time the book was written. Apart from its interest for the student of the Indian nationalist movement, this book has obvious relevance for those interested in race relations and the history of immigration laws within the British Empire.
