  • South Asians As Medical Scapegoats in British Columbia and the Pacific Coast States, 1900-1924
    South Asians as Medical Scapegoats in British Columbia and the Pacific Coast States, 1900-1924 by Isabel Wallace A thesis submitted to the Department of History In conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctorate of Philosophy in History Queen’s University Kingston, Ontario, Canada (September, 2013) Copyright © Isabel Wallace, 2013 Abstract This transnational study of the first-wave South Asian immigrant experience in British Columbia and the Pacific coast states shows how elected officials at all levels of government, bureaucrats, union leaders, physicians, members of the press, and the general public utilized purported public health concerns to justify South Asian exclusion and disenfranchisement. While all Asian groups living along the Pacific coast faced opposition to their immigration and settlement, India’s subordinate status within the British Empire, and a sustained western association of South Asians with disease, uniquely positioned North American discourse on South Asians at the intersection of colonial theory, Orientalism, and medicalized nativism in the first two decades of the twentieth century. ii Acknowledgements First of all, I would like to thank God for watching over me during this entire process.
