An important study of the discriminatory immigration policies Canada had in the interwar period this book is nevertheless flawed for advocating, very effectively but not very historically, that only Jews suffered from racist attitudes against their immigration. Many other communities, before, during and after the Second World War, were victims of racial profiling and stereotypical attitudes that resulted in their exclusion or limitations being placed on the numbers admitted. And after the war, despite the apparent biases of a very small minority of Canadian officials, Jews were actually given preferential treatment in coming to Canada, a trend that has continued to the present day (we are still getting Jewish immigrants from the former Soviet Union, some claiming to be "refugees"). This is a valuable contribution to Canadian immigration history and certainly presents a pro-Jewish position forcefully, but it is only a partial and somewhat polemical account of a subject that is far more complex than here presented.
