Book Description Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. Brokering Belonging traces several generations of Chinese "brokers," ethnic leaders who acted as intermediaries between the Chinese and Anglo worlds of Canada. Before World War II, most Chinese could not vote and many were illegal immigrants, so brokers played informal but necessary roles as representatives to the larger society. Lisa Rose Mar's study of Chinatown leaders shows how politics helped establish North America's first major group of illegal immigrants.Drawing on new Chinese language evidence, her dramatic account of political power struggles over representing Chinese Canadians offers a transnational immigrant view of history, centered in a PacificWorld that joins Canada, the United States, China, and the British Empire. This fascinating account of Chinatown leaders shows how politics helped establish North America's first major group of illegal immigrants. New Chinese language evidence reveals how ethnic leaders' role as transnational actors and intermediaries both transformed Canadian politics and changed understandings of immigrant communities in a turbulent 20th century.
