The writings of Denise Chong and Joy Mannette have a great impact of Canadian social and political history.
Denise Chong and Joy Mannette have given their perspectives regarding the position of Chinese and African American immigrants in Canadian society in their books "The Concubine's Children" and "My Dearest Child" respectively. Denise has explained the story of a Chinese man who came to Canada for a better life of his family and Joy has given a description of a woman who married a Black Novascotian man and gave birth to a child.
Denise was born and raised in British Columbia. She worked as an economist for the Department of Finance and as an advisor to PM Trudeau. She wrote about the hardship faced by the Chinese to earn a better life. In her book, she has given her grandparents' story that they had to face discrimination for following Chinese culture. They had to pay extra taxes for education and employment. The Chinese Immigration Act, 1923 put the limitation on Chinese people's migration to Canada. The Chinese immigrants managed to establish a small town in British Columbia called China Town which gave them a place to call as home. Denise's strong political background of the Canadian Government and Canadian history, knowledge of traditions and operations made her aware about the racism against the Chinese immigrants.
Joy Mannette wrote about the discrimination, hatred and ignorance faced by the black people in the past. She wrote in a letter to her son that she is "Nova Scotian first" but the other Canadians do not want to accept this reality. She feared that her son might face the same discrimination and hatred which she and her parents and grandparents have faced in their lives. During 1800's, the Black people didn't have equal rights for education and worship. They didn't get the voting rights or the freedom of speech. They were legally denied from public entertainment.
These stories have brought great impact on social and political History of Canada. These stories also created the awareness and forced the Canadian government to change into a multicultural society where everyone is treated fairly and equally. This resulted in creation of Canadian Multiculturalism Act, 1988 which protects and ensures to give equal rights to all.
