In Their Own Words: Translating Documents from Montana's Chinese Community

Mark Johnson, a teacher at Concordia International School in Shanghai and four of his students talk about the international collaboration they have created to recover the voices and stories of Montana's Chinese community by arranging to translate Chinese-language documents in the Montana Historical Society collections. Specifically, the collection examines the challenges facing the Chinese community in the post-World War II era as families struggled to reunite, but were hindered by the Chinese civil war and the tensions of the Cold War.
