Please see a message and updated discussion that has been uploaded from the Museum of Anthropology’s “Responsive Dialogues: Racism in Canada.” This topic is titled “A Dialogue on Anti-Chinese Racism: Linking the Past to the Present.”
MOA’s new Responsive Dialogues series is about racism in Canada. Recent anti-Black and anti-Asian violence in communities across North America has focused our attention on the deeply rooted racism in Canada and around the world. Critically, the continued racism and oppression that is directed at Indigenous communities is a systemic problem that has been plagued this country for many generations, through state and institutional policies. https://moa.ubc.ca/2021/03/responsive-dialogues-racism/
Our third dialogue in the series is A Dialogue on Anti-Chinese Racism: Linking the Past to the Present. In this dialogue, Dr. Tzu-I Chung, curator of history at the Royal British Columbia Museum, and MOA’s Senior Marketing and Communications Manager Bonnie Sun consider anti-Asian racism, particularly anti-Chinese racism, through the lens of history and the contributions of the first generations of Chinese immigrants to Canada. https://moa.ubc.ca/2021/05/a-dialogue-on-anti-chinese-racism-linking-the-past-to-the-present/
Thank you.
