from the University of British Columbia, Wasada University (Tokyo, Japan), and the

1934 report on the Japanese in British Columbia. The report is predominantly statistical,
with some explanatory content. Including the introduction, the report is 60 pages
long. The sections are: Population statistics of “Second Generation Japanese in British
Columbia”, educational, occupational, marital, and social conditions (the later including
religious denominations, distribution of organizations, reading matter, musical attainments,
special amusements, sports, social difficulty, contact with Japan, and stability).

Terminology
Readers of these historical materials will encounter derogatory references to Japanese
Canadians and euphemisms used to obscure the intent and impacts of the internment
and dispossession. While these are important realities of the history, the Landscapes
of Injustice Research Collective urges users to carefully consider their own terminological
choices in writing and speaking about this topic today as we confront past injustice.
