Abstract

The article examines the cultural problems between the East Indian community living in Canada and the Canadian community in George Ryga's "The Ecstasy of Rita Joe." It provides interpretations of the exploitative nature of the English characters in the play who are against the Indic culture. It also discusses important social issues dealing with the mistreatment of East Indians by white men.
