THPS Branch Meeting RoomJoin us for an author talk with Nancy Wang, storyteller and author of Red Altar.
Step into conversation with author Nancy Wang as she discusses her novel Red Altar.
Red Altar is a work of historical fiction that tells the story of the Monterey Bay area’s Chinese fishing villages of the 1850's, and is the true story of three generations of Chinese fishermen surviving and building community despite the anti-Chinese laws and violence they experienced in California. Based on Wang’s own family history, Red Altar is written in conversation with the realities of racial injustice that continue to impact BIPOC communities today, weaving awareness and harvesting wisdom from freedom struggles past and present.
