White Riot: The 1907 Anti-Asian Riots in Vancouver explores the conditions leading up to & the impact of a demonstration & parade in Vancouver, Canada, organized by the Asiatic Exclusion League & the ensuing mob attack on the city’s Chinese Canadian & Japanese Canadian communities. Emblematic of a systemically racist era, White Riot reveals the social & political environment of the time, when racialized communities were targeted through legislated as well as physical acts of exclusion & violence. 

Based on 360 Riot Walk, a 360-degree video walking tour by artist & author Henry Tsang, White Riot offers an intersectional approach to this pivotal moment in the history of racialized communities & a cultural & social context for understanding for the current wave of anti-Asian sentiment. It features photographs of the riots colourized by Tsang as well as those of contemporary Vancouver where the riots took place. Essays by Tsang & others speak to the colonial times that preceded & followed the 1907 riots, as well as issues that Chinese & Japanese communities (and other racialized communities) in North America are facing today. 

White Riot poses the question: in the current ethos of anti-racism & decolonization, what does it take to reconcile our collective histories within the legacy of white supremacy?
