Dans cette mini-leçon, nous allons examiner les politiques antichinoises du Canada à travers un prisme historique et nous pencher sur la commercialisation du tourisme dans les « tunnels de Moose Jaw », ainsi que sur son rôle dans la discrimination systémique pratiquée à l’égard de la communauté chinoise. La leçon aidera également les élèves à analyser le rôle de la voix dans la narration, en mettant l’accent sur l’éducation aux médias et sur la réappropriation de la voix et de la narration.
Dans ce court métrage d’animation, Michael Fukushima raconte l’histoire de son père. Comme des milliers d'autres Canadiens d'origine japonaise, Minoru et sa famille, qui habitaient Vancouver, furent déclarés ennemis du Canada à la suite du bombardement de Pearl Harbor par l'aviation japonaise le 7 décembre 1941. Plongés dans les horreurs du racisme, les membres de la communauté japonaise canadienne furent envoyés dans des camps de concentration ou déportés. Au moment de ces événements, Minoru n'avait que neuf ans. Aujourd'hui, les souvenirs du père se mêlent à la voix du fils, tissant une histoire de souffrance et de survivance de droits perdus et retrouvés.

For 30 years, Afghanistan has been at the center of armed conflict, from the Soviet-Afghan War beginning in 1979 to the Taliban consolidation of power in the 1990s to the U.S.-led military intervention after September 11, 2001. How have Afghan people and leaders responded to events? The activities presented here provide students with a deeper look at what war has meant for Afghans Đ how they have lived, represented events, and attempted to rebuild their country. The monument of a tank in Herat with triumphant local soldiers offers a glimpse of both anti-Soviet and anti-Taliban feeling in one region of Afghanistan, and calls upon us to consider what messages monuments send. The trailer from the film Brewing Tea in a Kettle of War examines how the Provincial Reconstruction Team and the National Solidarity Program operated in Afghanistan and how reconstruction efforts are negotiated in the aftermath of conflict. The inclusion of weaponry and war motifs in women's traditional Afghan carpets shows how violence has permeated the society and even gained its own market niche. These sources bring us closer to Afghan perspectives on events than textbooks and news stories tend to do.
