Scope and content
File consists of various news clippings and a map of Vancouver's Chinatown, produced in January 1996. News material includes a review by Patrick Chen and Sean Gunn, of the National Film Board's documentary, Bamboo, Lions and Dragons, produced by John Taylor and Jennifer Torrent, and directed by Rich Patton. The review discusses the perpetuation of Chinese stereotypes and historical inaccuracies throughout the documentary. File also includes an article from a September 1995 edition of Homemaker's entitled, "In Pursuit of Happiness" discussing Beijing hosting the UN World Conference on Women, with a handwritten note, "1995 China's Women". File also includes a March 1998 letter to the editor of the Vancouver Courier, written by Larry Wong, discussing changes to Chinatown. "Chinatown will never be the same but it'll survive and continue to evolve," an article from the February 28, 1998 edition of The Vancouver Sun which discusses Chinese labourers being brought into the city of Darwin, Australia in the mid-1800s to build telegraph and railroads, and an article from the December 9-15 edition of Broadcast Week by Louise Leger, which discusses the film The War Between Us, which focuses on the internment (imprisonment is the preferred term today) of Japanese Canadian citizens during World War II.
