Johnston, Hugh The Voyage of the Komagata Maru: the Sikh Challenge to Canada's Colour Bar

8vo - 21.5 x 14 cm.; (10) - 162 pp. Blue cloth with gold lettering on spine. A now, almost forgotten episode in Canada's immigration and refugee history. In 1914, a group of Sikh peasants left for Canada on board a chartered ship (the Komagata Maru) for Vancouver under the leadership of Gurdit Singh. Denied entry, they were forced to return to Calcutta and in the ensuing melee of disembarkation, several were shot and killed. Well researched and documented. This is a complimenta ry review copy from Oxford with the publisher's slip tipped in on recto of front free end paper. Slight shelf (edge) wear to the dust jacket with an abrasion on the back panel. 7241
