| | Synopsis
|
A hundred years ago this year, the Japanese steamship Komagata Maru
set sail for Canada with 376 Sikh, Muslim, and Hindu migrants
traveling from Punjab, India. They were refused entry at Vancouver,
even though all passengers were British subjects. The Komagata Maru
sat moored in Vancouver's harbor for two months while courts decided
the passengers' right to access—and while the city's white citizens
lined the pier taunting those onboard. Eventually, Canada's racist
exclusion laws were upheld and the ship was forced to return to
India...Phinder Dulai connects these 376 passengers with other New
World settler migrants who traveled on the same ship throughout its
thirty-six-year history, including to ports of call in Hong Kong,
Japan, India, Turkey, Halifax, Montreal, and Ellis Island. By drawing
on ship records, nautical maps, passenger manifests, and the rich,
detailed record of the Komagata Maru, Dulai demonstrates how the 1914
incident encapsulates a broader narrative of migration throughout the
New World.
