It has been a profoundly challenging experience, both emotionally and linguistically, to work on this extraordinary piece of carceral writing. I tried translating it into vernacular Cantonese but had to give up after a few pages. How malleable language can be when under the bend of lived experience!
Read this fascinating new blog post by @gigitang.bsky.social examining a petition written by the Chinese digger, Jong Ah Siug, from the asylum in colonial Melbourne. The petition takes the form of a palm-sized bound book and includes hand-drawn maps.
