Mass Capture

Chinese Head Tax and the Making of Non-Citizens

2021 • 336 pages

"Mass Capture argues the CI 9 documents implemented by the Canadian government to acquire information on Chinese migrants acted as a process of mass capture that produced non-citizens. Cho reveals CI 9s as more than documents of racist repression: they offer possibilities for beauty and dignity in the archive, for captivation as well as capture." (Carleton University Library)
