Samenvatting
Crucial events in late 20th-century Canada-China cultural relations are revealed in this historian-diplomat's engrossing memoir.
Brian Evans blends memoir and history to draw a vivid picture of China and its cultural outreach over the past five decades. His historical and sociological insights as student, scholar, diplomat, and administrator form an authentic commentary as he discusses China and the Cold War; the Cultural Revolution; the post-Mao transformation of China; Canada's relations with China; the cultural impact of the overseas Chinese community on the Canadian Prairies; development of China studies in Canada and elsewhere; the current impact of China on Canadian higher education; and recent Chinese history seen within a broader context. Through words and photographs, Evans seeks to make a contribution to the understanding of the nature and wide range of Canada-China relations, an area in which he himself has played a role. Brian L. Evans, C.M., studied Chinese and Chinese history at the University of London's School of Oriental and African Studies. Later, serving as a cultural counsellor at the Canadian embassy in Beijing, he was involved with Pierre Elliott Trudeau's historic visit to China in 1973. He was Professor of Chinese History at the University of Alberta (1961-1996) in Edmonton. In his retirement, Brian Evans has devoted himself to recording and preserving the stories of Alberta's Chinese pioneer immigrants.
