Reviews
J.M. Bumsted:
An essential (read) for anybody concerned to understand Canadian history between Confederation and World War I.

Gunther Barth:
Roy’s solid well-researched book helps us understand the response of British Columbia’s politicians to Chinese and Japanese immigration.
Margaret Cannon:
History, by definition, is supposed to elucidate and illuminate the lessons of the past. The best history brings the past alive, allowing the people who lived to speak once again, to tell their story to a (presumably) more enlightened age. A White Man’s Province is good history. What we learn from it is up to us.
