Journeys of Hope Book Launch
Join us to celebrate the launch of Journeys of Hope: Challenging Discrimination and Building on Vancouver Chinatown's Legacies! This is a fantastic opportunity to meet with author Henry Yu, as well as co-editors Sarah Ling and Baldwin Wong to learn more about this incredible publication!
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's Apology for past discrimination against people of Chinese descent on April 22, 2018.
Date: Wednesday, December 5, 2018
Time: 5-7PM
Location: Chinatown House, 188 East Pender Street, Vancouver
The hard cover edition of Journeys of Hope will be availale for purchase at the book launch for $40.00.
