Tales From Gold Mountain | Stories of the Chinese in the New World | Teaching Multicultural Literature Workshop 7: Social Justice and Action
Tales From Gold Mountain: Stories of the Chinese in the New World is a collection of eight original stories that are set in the mid- to late 1800s, when gold mines beckoned and workers were needed to build the Canadian and American railroads. These stories inhabit the great historical movement that Chinese Canadian writer Paul Yee interprets so well: the immigrant experience. This book is one of the examples of multicultural literature explored in the video for Workshop 7.
