"Like Rain Drops Rolling Down New Paint": Chinese Immigrants and the Problem of National Identity in the Work of Emily Carr.

The article focuses on Chinese immigrants and the problem of national identity in the work of artist Emily Carr. Carr's approach to the Chinese at times bears similarities to her assumptions about First Nations persons, although, at other times, it is contrary to these assumptions: the manner, for example, in which she foregrounded and enfolded First Nations cultural forms into her own work is similar to her ostensibly benign assessment of Chinese art, artists, and religious figures, but her indignation at the manner in which First Nations persons are treated by the government never extends to the Chinese.
