MONTREAL—Undeterred by a snow storm, some 50 people participated in a lively presentation here March 17 of Our History Is Still Being Written: The Story of Three Chinese-Cuban Generals in the Cuban Revolution. The panelists who spoke about the book were (pictured above, from left to right) Yvonne Lo (partially hidden), coordinator of the Chinese-language team at Radio Centre-Ville, a community station; Mary-Alice Waters, editor of the book and president of Pathfinder Press; moderator Janet Lumb, director of Festival Accès Asie, an Asian heritage celebration; Armand Vaillancourt, a well-known sculptor; and Sam Noumoff, former director of the Centre for Developing-Area Studies at McGill University.
This was the sixth such meeting in a cross-Canada series of presentations of the book that began a week earlier in Vancouver, followed by events in the Toronto area. A final citywide gathering is being held March 25 in Toronto. —MICHEL PRAIRIE Related articles: Vancouver Asian Centre hosts meeting on book by Chinese-Cuban generals Australia event promotes ‘Our History Is Still Being Written’ Front page (for this issue) | Home | Text-version home |
