．邀訪來賓：美裔童書作家 Vivienne Chang

*Friday Happy Hour in Formosa Episode #14 第14集*

Taiwanese American Children's Book Author Vivienne Chang - This is Not My Home

與才華橫溢的美裔童書作家Vivienne暢通文化認同感

人客來坐 My Taiwan Story

As much as I’d like to think that I have a good self-cultural awareness of my Taiwanese heritage from an early age, I’m still discovering new things at my age now about who I am and what the past generations before me had to struggle to overcome. I’ve also started to think about my young nieces and nephews who all came back to visit the last two years, specifically about what they really know about Taiwan aside from bubble tea and stinky tofu.

Vivienne Chang is the co-author of “This is Not My Home” where she drew inspiration from growing up as a Taiwanese American. She actually reached out to me about coming on the show and I was honored to have been able to interview such a driven young woman like her (*Vivienne is still finishing college!)

Join me this Friday to find out more about Vivienne as we share the parallel universe of our Taiwanese American experience. You can get your copy of “This is Not My Home” through various online platforms including here

我常常在想我年輕的時候是否有像這個禮拜的特別來賓一樣，這麼樣的認識自己。Viennie是一個在北加土生土長的ABT(America Born Taiwanese)! 雖然她還在讀大學，但年紀輕輕的Viennie已經出了一本叫做《This is Not My Home》的書了訥，厲害吧！這本書是關於一個在美國出生的小女孩因家庭原因搬回來台灣居住而遇到種種的不適應。但是也是因為透過克服這些困難，才真正讓她體會到自己的文化/根源。其實我跟Viennie 在美國長大的地方沒有差很遠，所以雖然我跟他的年紀是差了蠻大一截， 但跟她聊天的時候有點感覺像是我們好像有一個很美式/台味的平行宇宙。我非常期待追蹤Viennie的人生路程，大家都是有興趣可以去線上下載購買這本非常有意義的童書喔！
