Our History is Still Being Written: The Story of 3 Chinese-Cuban Generals in the Cuban Revolution
Armando Choy was one of the 3 young rebels of Chinese-Cuban ancestry (including Gustavo Chui and Moises Sio Wong) who threw themselves into the 1956-58 Cuban revolution that brought down the Batista dictatorship.
Our History is Still Being Written describes how Cuba's Spanish colonial rulers brought over 150,000 Chinese indentured labourers to work as virtual slaves in the sugar industry. It was because of Cuba's socialist revolution that discrimination - against blacks, against Chinese, against women, against the poor - was ended.
Hear Armando Choy (Chinese Cuban leader & author), Karin Lee (film-maker); Sid Tan (leader of fight for Chinese head tax redress) and Mary-Alice Waters (editor of Our History is Still Being Written: The Story of Three Chinese-Cuban Generals in the Cuban Revolution) on Sunday, March 11 at 2:30pm at the Vancouver Public Library., and Monday, March 12 at UBC (deets after the cut).
