Happy holiday season to all! This month, we are re-sharing a 2022 episode in honor of Sheila Wiecke, one of the episode’s interviewees, who passed away in October 2023 in Vancouver, Canada. Please also check out our free bonus episode where Sheila shares more details about her immigration journey during the Chinese Civil War.

In this encore episode of the NüVoices podcast, historians Arlene Chan and Melanie Ng chat with us about the first Chinese migrants who made their way to Canada in the 19th century. From there, Arlene and Melanie retrace the throughline of Chinese Canadian migration, from exclusionary anti-Chinese immigration laws to present-day Sinophobia found in many Western countries today.
We also learn about Arlene’s trailblazing mother, Jean Lumb, who played a major role in changing Canada’s racist immigration laws.
Throughout the episode, we hear from Sheila, a Chinese immigrant who came to Canada following the turmoil of WWII and the Chinese Civil War. Many thanks to Solarina Ho, who hosted this episode and Joanna Chiu, who recorded Sheila’s riveting first-hand account of her immigration journey.
