Description
Handwritten notes on the book, "An Historical Survey of Migration within the Empire" written by Emmaline E. Smillie in 1923. The survey is published in the Canadian Historical Review Vol. 4, Number 3, pages 217-257. It provides a historical overview of Indian migration within the British Empire, highlighting the movement's origins, the involvement of both laboring and educated Indians, and the reactions of various dominions (self-governing territories within the British Empire, such as Australia, New Zealand, Canada, and South Africa) to Indian immigration. It discusses the shift from indentured labor to restrictions on immigration and explores the different socioeconomic backgrounds of Indian migrants and the challenges they faced. Additionally, it touches upon the contrasting reception of Indians in Great Britain versus the dominions, emphasizing the role of economic conditions, population density, and cultural factors in shaping migration patterns.
