Abstract
- This paper studies the segregationist policies of the Canadian government with respect to the people of Japanese origin in Canada in the context of the Second World War. It also studies the strategies and political alliances of these groups to prevent the disintegration of their communities and the deportation of its members. The case study of Japanese-Canadians helps to illuminate the emergence in Canada of a broader fight for Human Rights.
