Book Description
Excerpt from University of Toronto Roll of Service, 1914-1918 For the past five years Professor G. Oswald Smith has given most careful and helpful attention to the records of those of the graduates and undergraduates who served in the Great War. He has applied at every source where he thought most accurate information might be got, with the result that the Roll of Service, as it is now issued in final form, must be as accurate as earnest investigation can make it. It is a task which could only have been adequately performed by pious care. The record also will be kept and read with almost sacred regard by the friends of those who have fallen and who offered their lives for the cause of freedom. Future generations of graduates and undergraduates of this University will turn to this perpetual memorial. An outline is given of the different war activities in which the University was engaged during this period. This will recall to many the work in which they had a share, and will let those who come after us know how we sought to do our part in the War.

Colour-Coded
Author: Constance Backhouse
Publisher: University of Toronto Press
ISBN: 1442690852
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 505
Book Description
Historically Canadians have considered themselves to be more or less free of racial prejudice. Although this conception has been challenged in recent years, it has not been completely dispelled. In Colour-Coded, Constance Backhouse illustrates the tenacious hold that white supremacy had on our legal system in the first half of this century, and underscores the damaging legacy of inequality that continues today. Backhouse presents detailed narratives of six court cases, each giving evidence of blatant racism created and enforced through law. The cases focus on Aboriginal, Inuit, Chinese-Canadian, and African-Canadian individuals, taking us from the criminal prosecution of traditional Aboriginal dance to the trial of members of the 'Ku Klux Klan of Kanada.' From thousands of possibilities, Backhouse has selected studies that constitute central moments in the legal history of race in Canada. Her selection also considers a wide range of legal forums, including administrative rulings by municipal councils, criminal trials before police magistrates, and criminal and civil cases heard by the highest courts in the provinces and by the Supreme Court of Canada. The extensive and detailed documentation presented here leaves no doubt that the Canadian legal system played a dominant role in creating and preserving racial discrimination. A central message of this book is that racism is deeply embedded in Canadian history despite Canada's reputation as a raceless society.
