It is rare to find stories talking about Chinese railway workers, so it owl die great for middle or high school to discuss this tragic time in our history and preface a lesson on Chinese immigration, the Chinese exclusion Act, and California education policies towards POC in the early 1900s. Chine du sud. Une famille pauvre. Le père décide d'embarquer pour les Etats-Unis et travailler pour le chemin de fer. Lorsqu'elle décide de le rejoindre, on lui annonce qu'il vient de mourir. Elle décide d'immortaliser le lieu en peignant. Dans son rêve, elle retrouve son père... Atmosphère triste, illustrations sombres, texte fort. Evocation des émigrés chinois au début du XXème siècle. A chinese girl comes to America to reunite with her railroad worker father, only to find he has been killed in an accident. His ghost instructs her to use her artistic talents to paint a train that will carry the ghosts of other fallen Chinese railroad workers home. I would have liked an author's note referencing real statistics about Chinese railroad workers, but maybe that's something for students to investigate. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
