        Terrain of Memory


        A Japanese Canadian Memorial Project


        by Kirsten Emiko McAllister

Thursday, September 8, 7pm
Free admission

Dr. McAllister will present her book /Terrain of Memory/ which tells the 
story of the Japanese Canadian elders who built a memorial in New 
Denver, British Columbia, to transform a site of political violence into 
a space for remembrance. It shows how their memorial transformed the 
valley where once over 7,000 women, men, and children were interned into 
a pilgrimage site for Japanese Canadians where they can mourn and pay 
their respects to the wartime generation.

Kirsten Emiko McAllister is an Associate Professor in the School of 
Communication at Simon Fraser University.

Book signing and refreshments.
