LIVES OF THE FAMILY
CHONG, DENISE
In 2011, Denise Chong set out to collect the history of the earliest Chinese settlers in and around Ottawa,
who made their homes far from any major Chinatown. Many would open cafes, establishments that once
dotted the landscape across the country and were a monument to small-town Canada. This generation of
Chinese immigrants lived at the intersection of the Exclusion Act in Canada, which divided families
between here and China, and 2 momentous upheavals in China: the Japanese invasion and war-time
occupation; and the victory of the Communists, which ultimately led these settlers to sever ties with
China. This book of overlapping stories explores the trajectory of a universal immigrant experience, one of
looking in the rear view mirror while at the same time, travelling toward an uncertain future. Intimate,
haunting and powerful, Lives of the Family reveals the immigrant's tenacity in adapting to a new world.
