Book Review
The Punjabis in British Columbia: Location, Labour, First Nations, and Multiculturalism
2014
Overview
At a basic level, it focuses on the important but sorely understudied community of Punjabis who played a crucial role in the resource economies and overall development of the northern regions of the province, but the scope and potential impact of the work extends much further: it contributes in a profound way to our understanding of the \"intercultural interaction\" that characterizes many locations in North American society. The remaining chapters define the labour history of the Skeena region and the role of Punjabis, among others, in this developing economy over the course of the twentieth century (Chapter 2); the ways in which gender was configured and reconfigured in the experience of migration and in the opportunity that this afforded women to work outside the home (Chapter 4); and the cultural interactions - both antagonistic and not - that ensued over the course of nearly a century of significant Punjabi presence in the region (Chapters 6-8), including the crucial roles played by unions as \"intercultural mediators\" (i6of£).
