South Asians have made monumental contributions in Canada. The abundance of South Asian history in British Columbia (B.C.) describes the adversities experienced by Punjabis in the early 1900s. Mewa Singh was a monumental figure who challenged inequalities, and his death incited significant political, social and cultural boundaries in the heart of Vancouver, B.C. The controversy involving the dismissal of the Komagata Maru, William Charles Hopkinson's involvement with immigration laws and the execution of Mewa Singh incited greater understanding of the social and cultural ramifications at this historical time. Implications resulting from these events are examined though a cultural-psychological framework.

"In this heart wrenching and inspirational memoir a woman and her mother, who is suffering from Alzheimer's, embark on a road trip through national parks, revisiting the memories, and the mountains, that made them who they are. Steph Jagger lost her mother before she lost her. Her mother, stricken with an incurable disease that slowly erases all sense of self, struggles to remember her favorite drink, her favorite song, and-perhaps most heartbreaking of all-Steph herself. Steph watches as the woman who loved and raised her slips away before getting the chance to tell her story, and so Steph makes a promise: her mother will walk it and she will write it. Too aware of her mother's waning memory, Steph proposes that the two take a camping trip out to Montana-which her mother, on the urging of Steph's father, agrees to embark upon. An adventure full of horseback riding, hiking, and "tenting" out West quickly turns into one woman's reflection on childhood, motherhood, personhood-and what it means to love someone who doesn't quite remember the person she spent her lifetime becoming. A staggeringly beautiful examination of how stories are passed down through generations and from Mother Nature, Everything Left to Remember brings us the wisdom of who our memories make us under the constellations of the vast Montana sky"--

"In October 1890, Eugene T. Kingsley's life changed irrevocably while working as a brakeman on the Northern Pacific Railway when he was injured in a fall between two rail cars. While recuperating in hospital after the amputation of both legs, he began reading the works of Karl Marx. Joining a popular socialist movement, his activism eventually brought him to Vancouver, B.C. where he founded the Socialist Party of Canada (SPC). Kingsley, known as a passionate orator, went on to become one of the most prominent socialist intellectuals of his day. Class Warrior is a collection of Kingsley's writing and speeches that underscores his tremendous impact on Canadian political discourse."--

The Downtown Eastside (DTES) of Vancouver, Canada, has been the epicentre of HIV and drug overdose related to injection drug users (IDUs) since the mid1990s. In response to growing government inaction, a drug user-run organization known as Vancouver Area Network of Drug User (VANDU) was formed. This study was conducted to capture the genesis and influence of VANDU over the past 14 years in shaping the neighbourhood. Semi-structured qualitative interviews were conducted with purposively chosen sample of 11 VANDU board members and those attending the services. Interviews were transcribed verbatim and analysed thematically using NVivo 9 software. Participants' narratives indicate that VANDU has been instrumental in improving conditions of the DTES, altering the risky injection behaviour of its members. Moreover, VANDU has given a voice to the most marginalized members of society who otherwise would not be represented. Findings from this study highlight the important role that a drug user organization can play in creating new physical and conceptual space. ; Non UBC ; Reviewed ; Other
