Desire: Skin Colour and Vancouver

desire: Come join us for the Vancouver launch on Tuesday, April 4, 2017 at 7 PM in the Vancouver Public Library's Alice Mac Kay Room.A yellow dress with ruffles, a kind Grade 1 teacher with a last name difficult to spell, cockroaches in the bathroom these are portraits of cultural misunderstandings, bureaucratic hurdles, attempts to navigate unfamiliar landscapes, and a desire to be accepted despite differences in accent, sexuality, skin colour, or taste in food, according to Rabble. Whether home is a place they long to return, desire to create, or hope to preserve in the language of their families, each writer reveals how pieces of their history have brought them closer or farther to the feeling of belonging. In their own words, Wherever I Find Myself holds the diverse and personal stories by authors of all types of ethnicities and intersecting identities. Within these pages, the authors are both critical and grateful for being able to call Canada home. Please note This event is free and open to the public. Together their stories present a mosaic of emotions and worldviews that underline the plurality of immigrant experiences for women. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
