It does not examine only one association in one city. Instead, it provides an overview of the socio-economic and political activities of the Chinese in Canada before the turn of the twentieth century, their relationship with Western communities, and the Association's inter-relationship with China and other parts of the world. The book also includes a history of the origins of 17 Chinese Benevolent Associations in other Chinese communities across Canada.Chinese Community Leadership is an essential Chinese reference for researchers on Chinese community leadership, power structure and international networking.Contents:Establishment of CCBA, 1884–1885Oligarchic Rule, 1884–1890sFunctions and Activities, 1884–1890sOrganizational Growth, 1890s–1930sDemocratic Rule, 1900s–1930sPolitical Dominance, 1940s–1960sNominal Leadership, 1970s–2000sRetrospect and ProspectReadership: Scholars, students, general readers interested in Chinese Canadians, overseas Chinese and Chinatown.
