In Canada, diversity is represented as “an ethnicity + a hyphen + Canadian.” But what if you are one of the many people who don’t fit into an obvious category? What if your background is a hybrid of ancestries and you live “in the hyphen”—somewhere in between, where cultural identities overlap? This program examines the experiences of poet Fred Wah and six other Canadians with one parent from a European background and one from a visible minority. As globalization increasingly blurs borders of all kinds, Living in the Hyphen offers a provocative glimpse of a future in which hyphens give way to a celebration of mixed heritages. (45 minutes)
