Chinese Canadian history

Chinese Canadian History

life Outside of Work is just as important Was there “life outside of work”? If we want to find out the history of social and family life we have to look to women’s history. Incorrigibl e and Concubine’s Children CHINESE CANADIAN WOMEN, : INSPIRATION-INNOVATION-INGENUITYCHINESE CANADIAN WOMEN, : INSPIRATION-INNOVATION-INGENUITYCHINESE CANADIAN WOMEN, : INSPIRATION-INNOVATION-INGENUITYCHINESE CANADIAN WOMEN, : INSPIRATION-INNOVATION-INGENUITY Is it possible to write a history of social and private life of men?

OBSTACLES C U L T U R E A N D S T I G M A Cultural taboos : do not talk about personal matters, even things like returning to China to find a wife. Stigma : with few Chinese women living in Canada, sex workers and “low” (poor and racially or ethnically stigmatized) women were the earliest partners of Chinese men. homosocial = homosexual? Another taboo, not just for the Chinese. But how to find out about that?

Obstacles: Sources

Interracial RelationSHips

Why Help? Family and personal life can deepen our understanding of the experiences of people of Chinese heritage This understanding will contribute to the social justice agenda by showing the personal impact of these policies; It also leaves a history for your children and grandchildren, for other immigrant people. If we don’t document it now, it will be lost forever.

How you can help Volunteer to tell us about your own growing up experience, your family life and your social life in an interview. Share with us your family and personal photos and other documents. Tell your family, friends, and social networks about the project.

How can We help? How can we share your stories, your history? through presentations like this one? on websites like The Ties that Bind? in books? other ways?

Save Chinatown!
