DESCRIPTION:Le club étudiant Association du droit de l'Asie Pacifique à McG
 ill (APLAM) vous invite à assister au lancement du nouveau livre de la sén
 atrice Vivienne Poy\, Passage to Promise Land: Voices of Chinese Immigrant
  Women to Canada (91Ö±²¥-Queen's University Press\, 2013). La sénatrice Po
 y donnera une brève présenation\, après quoi il Me Walter Tom\, la profess
 eure Grace Fong (91Ö±²¥) et Janet Lumb (ancienne directrice d'Acces Asie) 
 participeront à un panel de discussion. Une réception suivra.  À propos du
  livre  (En anglais seulement) Spanning more than six decades\, Passage to
  Promise Land is a revealing study of Chinese immigration to Canada from t
 he end of the Second World War to the present day. Tracing the evolution o
 f immigration policy through the stories of Chinese immigrant women\, Vivi
 enne Poy captures the social\, political\, and ethnic tensions of the peri
 od. Although the narratives included here represent women of all ages and 
 educational backgrounds\, they share a common sense of determination and s
 pirited resilience in the face of hardship.  Through their stories we lear
 n about Chinese settlement experience\, how the Chinese community develope
 d alongside changes in immigration regulations\, and why the immigration o
 f Chinese families to Canada became commonplace in the 1970s. The women ad
 dress experiences of patriarchy and discrimination in both China and Canad
 a\, revive memories of the turbulent years in China at the end of the Paci
 fic War\, and speak of their uncertainties about the return of Hong Kong's
  sovereignty from the United Kingdom to China in 1997. From the very first
  mention of Chinese women's immigration in Canada's Parliament in 1879\, t
 o the end of the twentieth century - when a Chinese woman was appointed Go
 vernor General - the road to equality has been long and arduous. Passage t
 o Promise Land details the important events along the way through the voic
 es of the women themselves.  Entrée libre et ouverte au public. RSVP: apla
