Need your help! Do you know any French language college professors? (or Spanish, German, Italian and Japanese?)
Chicken Feathers and Garlic Skin: Diary of a Chinese Garment Factory Girl on Saipan is being used by Women's Studies professors in the US, and in a Contemporary History textbook in France. My genius cousin-in-law in Canada suggested I recruit the assistance of college students
to translate the book into French, Spanish, Japanese, German and Italian for college credit. There's a small reward for information leading to securing an agreement with any college professor open to the idea. If you have any leads, please email me at [email protected] http://www.saipanfactorygirl.com

http://www.saipanfactorygirl.com/es In a few weeks (in recognition of Kindle being launched in Spain), we'll be launching a Spanish language edition of Chicken Feathers and Garlic Skin.

You are invited to pre-order to gift to someone or simply to support the effort to share Chun's story and increase awareness of the garment worker story. If you ARE a Spanish speaker and would like to help with the translation of the website, let me know your interest, any translations you may have done in the past, and you'll receive a free copy (or refund of your purchase) of the paperback and/or Kindle editions when released.

There's a link on the site to pre-order. (The kindle Spanish edition link is not active as yet and links to the Kindle English edition)
