A Talk by Wayson Choy: Navigating Multicultural

Presented by the UBC-Laurier Institution

2010 UBC-Laurier Institution Multiculturalism Lecture

Wayson Choy explores his personal view that many of us – whether recent arrivals or long-established citizens – suffer fears that may damage Canada’s quest to become a multicultural nation. As an “in-between citizen” all his life, growing up between values and cultures, he proposes some challenging antidotes – “remedies” – that have both lightened and enlightened his life.
