Masumi Izumi's essay, "Japanese Migration to Canada, 1877–1988," published in the Oxford Research Encyclopedia of Migration Studies, provides a comprehensive overview of Japanese migration to Canada. It traces the journey from the first documented migrant in 1877 to the formal redress by the Canadian government in 1988. The essay situates Japanese Canadian history within the larger context of settler colonialism, labor migration, and civil rights in North America. It discusses the establishment of vibrant communities and the significant roles of women and families in shaping immigrant life. A key section addresses the forced removal and incarceration of approximately 23,000 Japanese Canadians during World War II, underscoring the lasting impacts of such policies. Importantly, Izumi presents Japanese Canadians not merely as victims but as resilient individuals who actively challenged state policies and sought justice. The essay culminates in the landmark 1988 redress settlement, highlighting its significance in discussions of citizenship and minority rights. This work serves as an essential resource for those studying migration, Canadian history, and Asian diaspora studies.
