A Woman In Between: Searching for Dr. Victoria Chung
By John Price and Ningping Yu Part of the CCHSBC Gold Mountain Series Ten years in the making, A Woman in Between: Searching for Dr. Victoria Chung finally brings together the complex and intriguing story of Dr. Victoria Chung, the first Asian Canadian, man or woman, to earn a medical degree in Canada. An eye-witness to China's independence struggle, she provided urgent medical care during World War II, stayed on after the 1949 Revolution, and became a legend in her own right until the Cultural Revolution. This book shines the light on a story long forgotten in both China and Canada. |
Journeys of Hope: Challenging Discrimination & Building on Vancouver Chinatown's Legacies
By Henry Yu Edited by Sarah Ling, Szu Shen, and Baldwin Wong Translated into Chinese by Szu Shen Chinese migrants arrived in what is now known as Canada as early as 1788. Their contributions were often forgotten as part of a long history of racism and discrimination in Canada. Journeys of Hope captures the story of how early Chinese migrants helped transform societies around the world, and how Vancouver's Chinatown and other Chinatowns throughout Canada and the Pacific region are the living legacies of that transformation. This official version of Journeys of Hope includes a new chapter with photos from the City of Vancouver's Apology for past discrimination against people of Chinese descent on April 22, 2018. CCHSBC is proud to be the online vendor for this local publication on Chinese Canadian History published by the Initiative for Student Teaching and Learning in Chinese Canadian Studies at the University of British Columbia. Professor Henry Yu, who serves on the CCHS Board of Directors, is the author of this book, and CCHS President Sarah Ling is one of the co-editors. |
