Hilda Glynn-Ward - The Writing on the Wall
Toronto: University of Toronto Press, 1974. Trade paperback, volume 20 in the Social History of Canada Series edited by Michael Bliss. With an introduction by Patricia E. Roy, xxxi + Pp148. Covers somewhat mottled but a tight, unmarked copy. With tales of a gruesome murder, a typhoid epidemic, corrupt politicians, and a Japanese invasion, The Writing on the Wall was intended to shock its readers when it was published in 1921. Thinly disguised as a novel, it is a propaganda tract exhorting white British Columbians to greater vigilance to prevent greedy politicians from selling out to the Chinese and Japanese. It was also designed to convince eastern Canada of British Columbia's need for strict immigration regulations as protection against an onslaught of the 'yellow peril.' Scarce. 300 grams.
