Encounters among Aboriginal peoples, European colonists, Chinese
migrants, and mixed-race populations generated a range of racial
anxieties that underwrote colonialism in BC. By focusing on these
points of contact, this book forges critical links between
histories of migration and dispossession. The book highlights the
legal and spatial strategies of rule mobilized by Indian agents,
missionaries, and legal authorities who sought to restrict
crossracial encounters. Mawani illustrates how interracial
proximities in one colonial contact zone inspired the production of
juridical racial truths and modes of governance that continue to
linger in the racial politics of contemporary settler societies.
