Collecting Chinese Jewish Stories for Your Libraries: A Panel of Voices from Two Cultures
Monday, July 1, 4:00–5:00 pm
What does it mean to be Jewish and Chinese today? How are these intersecting identities told and shared in books? Co-sponsored by AJL, the Chinese American Librarians Association (CALA), and the Ethnic & Multicultural Information Exchange Round Table (EMIERT), this panel of authors and illustrators will discus Chinese and Jewish cultural interactions and intersecting cultures and identities through books.
And if you're staying in San Diego, check out events at the
San Diego Jewish Arts Festival, including the 23rd Klezmer Summit: From the Shtetl to the Shuk and REGENERATE: An Eco-Performance Fest!
