Migrants and Colonists : Migration, Colonization, and Histories of the Nineteenth-Century World
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 colonyâs 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 promotersâ discussions of desirable immigrants centred around three
images â the âhardy backwoodsmanâ, the âsteady familyâ, and the âwholesome
womanâ â 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 imperialistsâ 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 sâest faite autour de lâimmigration, comme en tĂ©moigne
la situation qui prévalait en Colombie-Britannique au milieu des années 1800.
Cette société de colons à forte prédominance masculine et à pluralité raciale a inévitablement
déçu ceux qui espĂ©raient trouver une colonie blanche stable, et lâĂ©cart
entre la rĂ©alitĂ© et les attentes a contribuĂ© Ă la crĂ©ation dâune avalanche de programmes
de rĂ©forme constamment articulĂ©s autour de lâimmigration. Les promoteurs
de la colonisation souhaitaient trois types dâimmigrants avant tout â le « brave
pionnier », la « famille stable » et la « femme de bonne constitution » â ce qui tĂ©moigne
de préoccupations chevauchantes pour le sexe, la classe et la race. On dépeignait
ainsi les immigrants capables de transformer la Colombie-Britannique en la colonie
stable des rĂȘves impĂ©rialistes. Quâils aient Ă©chouĂ© dans les faits confirme que lâimmigration
est un mĂ©canisme dâinclusion et dâexclusion 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 âthe scholarly
study and communication of history in Canada.â The
last bit of wording is key. The CHA/SHC is not defined by the
study of Canadaâs history, but by the study of all kinds of history
in Canada. /La Société historique du Canada / Canadian Historical Association
a pour mandat de promouvoir « lâĂ©tude savante et la
diffusion de lâhistoire au Canada. » Lâemploi de lâarticle « au »
plutÎt que « du » est significatif. La SHC/CHA ne se définit pas en
termes de lâĂ©tude de lâhistoire du Canada mais bien en termes de
lâĂ©tude de tous les domaines dâhistoire au Canada
