"Courts today face a range of claims to redress historic injustice, including injustice perpetuated by law. In Canada, descendants of Chinese immigrants recently claimed the return of a head tax levied only on Chinese immigrants. Calling Power to Account uses the litigation around the Chinese Canadian head tax as a focal point for examining the historical, legal, and philosophical issues raised by such claims." "Calling Power to Account suggest that our legal systems can hope to play a part in responding to their own legacy of past injustice only when they recognize the full array of issues posed by the head tax case."--BOOK JACKET
