| 520 | |a Despite the proclaimed openness of Canadians to ethnic and cultural diversity, Canadian history is nonetheless marked by systematic discrimination. This book exposes the legal tenacity of this discrimination through a review of six landmark court decisions between 1900 and 1950 that demonstrate how the Canadian legal system was complicit in racial discrimination. The selected cases illustrate the various ways in which racism has operated in different legal environments in Canada. It includes those of Eliza Sero, who in 1921 presented a claim to Mohawk sovereignty, of Wanduta, a Heyoka of the Dakota nation, who sought to have his right to celebrate the traditional dance of sacred grasses in 1903, d 'Ira Johnson, who suffered the wrath of the Ku Klux Klan for his desire to enter into a mixed marriage in 1930, from Yee Clun, a Chinese-born Canadian restaurateur who had been denied the right to employ white women in 1924 and Viola Desmond, who had been prevented by cinema staff from sitting in a section reserved for whites in 1946. The color of the laws illustrates the operational ambiguity as well as the astonishing and underhanded persistence of racism at work in the Canadian legal system. | ||
