SERIES AND AUTHOR CELEBRATION
VANCOUVER, BC – SEPTEMBER 30, 2011
A new and groundbreaking Chinese Canadian book series is reimagining North America’s engagement with the Pacific world.
The series, Gold Mountain Stories, brings to light the long ignored and untold stories of Chinese migrant experiences through their interactions and relationships with other Asian migrants, indigenous peoples, and European migrants. The first three books will be showcased at the Gold Mountain Stories Series and Author Celebration at UBC on October 13 at 7:30 pm.
Ranging in setting from Vancouver’s Chinatown, to Chilliwack, to even Mexico, each book in the series showcases different facets of the Chinese Canadian experience from the past to the present.
“Chinese Canadians have come at different times and from different places in China and throughout the Pacific region,†says Henry Yu, Associate Professor of History at UBC. “Many have called a variety of places home before coming to Canada, but once here, they formed vibrant communities that have significantly shaped Canadian society.â€
