Description - The Language of Family by Michelle van der Merwe

What is family? Is it defined by blood and birth? Or can we invite whomever we want into that intimate embrace? This book invites readers to pull up a guest chair at the family table. Twenty contributors from across British Columbia -- museum curators, cultural luminaries, writers and thinkers young and old, from First Nations, LGBTQ, Japanese Canadian and Punjabi communities, among others -- share their vastly different perspectives on what family means in this superb collection of personal narratives, poems and essays. This collection will provoke, tease, enlighten and infuriate. Isnt that what family does best?
