Editing Asianadian (section)

==History==

''The Asianadian'' was published from 1978 to 1985 with 24 issues. It was founded by Tony Chan,
Cheuk Kwan, and Lau Bo (aka Paul S. Levine) at a Mars Cafe lunch on College Avenue
in Toronto Canada.

''The Asianadian'' was the first Asian Canadian magazine that published the early works of
SKY Lee, Paul Yee, and Rick Shiomi. Landmark essays on being gay, lesbian and Asian
(Gerald Chan, Richard Fung, Phoenix), and initial pieces on the anti-W5 civil rights
movement, Muslims in Canada, Asian Canadian views on Quebec, etc. were highlighted.

There was also an interview with Chinese American director Wang Wang immediately
after his seminal film, ''Chan is Missing''. Wang later directed ''Joy Luck Club'' and ''Smoke''
with Harvey Keitel.
