From the earliest immigrants who arrived in 1892 to the unveiling of Ottawa's Chinatown Archway in 2010, this richly illustrated volume traces a remarkable journey of resilience, community-building, and cultural transformation. Through meticulous research and nearly 300 archival and contemporary photographs, author Jeff Wang brings to life the struggles and triumphs of generations of Chinese Canadians-navigating discrimination, the Head Tax, the Chinese Exclusion Act, and more. This comprehensive account explores their contributions to Ottawa's civic, cultural, and economic life, and reflects on the enduring legacy symbolized by the Archway that now stands in Chinatown. Whether you're a historian, a member of the Chinese Canadian diaspora, or a reader interested in stories of immigration and identity, Beneath the Archway offers a powerful tribute to a community that helped shape the face of Ottawa.
