    Hardy Backwoodsmen, Wholesome Women, and Steady Families: Immigration and the Construction of a White Society in Colonial British Columbia, 1849-1871

    Immigration was central to nineteenth-century colony-building, as is evident from an examination of mid-nineteenth-century British Columbia. This colony’s overwhelmingly male and racially plural settler society inevitably disappointed those who hoped to find a stable white settler colony, and the discrepancy helped to generate a spate of reformatory schemes in which immigration played a key and constant role. Colonial promoters’ discussions of desirable immigrants centred around three images — the “hardy backwoodsman”, the “steady family”, and the “wholesome woman” — that reveal overlapping concerns with gender, class, and race. Together, these images were constructed as the immigrants able to transform British Columbia into the stable settler society of imperialists’ dreams. That they failed to do so in practice confirms that immigration functioned as a mechanism for inclusion and exclusion, but not always in predictable ways.Au XIXe siĂšcle, la colonisation s’est faite autour de l’immigration, comme en tĂ©moigne la situation qui prĂ©valait en Colombie-Britannique au milieu des annĂ©es 1800. Cette sociĂ©tĂ© de colons Ă  forte prĂ©dominance masculine et Ă  pluralitĂ© raciale a inĂ©vitablement déçu ceux qui espĂ©raient trouver une colonie blanche stable, et l’écart entre la rĂ©alitĂ© et les attentes a contribuĂ© Ă  la crĂ©ation d’une avalanche de programmes de rĂ©forme constamment articulĂ©s autour de l’immigration. Les promoteurs de la colonisation souhaitaient trois types d’immigrants avant tout — le « brave pionnier », la « famille stable » et la « femme de bonne constitution » — ce qui tĂ©moigne de prĂ©occupations chevauchantes pour le sexe, la classe et la race. On dĂ©peignait ainsi les immigrants capables de transformer la Colombie-Britannique en la colonie stable des rĂȘves impĂ©rialistes. Qu’ils aient Ă©chouĂ© dans les faits confirme que l’immigration est un mĂ©canisme d’inclusion et d’exclusion parfois imprĂ©visible

    Feminism, History and Writing British Columbia's Past

    This paper discusses how three generations of historians have brought the insights of feminism to bear on British Columbia's past. In the early twentieth-century, feminist historians celebrated white women's role in colonization; in the 1970s they asserted that "women were there"; in the past two decades they have turned their attention to the relationship among gender, race, and class. We can build on this history. I argue, by addressing the critiques of anti-racist feminism and demonstrating the centrality of gender to British Columbian history as a whole.Cet article discute comment trois generations d'historiens ont demontre les effets des idees du feminisme sur le passe de la Colombie-britannique Au debut du vingtieme siecle, les historiennes feministes celebraient le role des femmes blanches durant la colonisation; durant les annees 70, elles ont affirme que "les femmes etaient la"; au cours des deux dernieres decennies elles ont porte leur attention sur la relation entre les sexes, la race et la classe. Nous pouvons ajouter a cette histoire. J'affirme en adressant les critiques anti-racistes feministes et en demontrant la centralite des sexes a 1'histoire de la Colombie-britannique dans l'ensemble

    The mandate of the Canadian Historical Association/ SociĂ©tĂ© historique du Canada is to foster “the scholarly study and communication of history in Canada.” The last bit of wording is key. The CHA/SHC is not defined by the study of Canada’s history, but by the study of all kinds of history in Canada. /La SociĂ©tĂ© historique du Canada / Canadian Historical Association a pour mandat de promouvoir « l’étude savante et la diffusion de l’histoire au Canada. » L’emploi de l’article « au » plutĂŽt que « du » est significatif. La SHC/CHA ne se dĂ©finit pas en termes de l’étude de l’histoire du Canada mais bien en termes de l’étude de tous les domaines d’histoire au Canada
