Summary:This book examines how in navigating Hong Kong's colonial history alongside its ever present Chinese identity, the city has come to manifest a conflicting socio-cultural plurality. The volume considers the territory's contested imaginary and celebrates as it critiques the current state of Hong Kong society on the 20th anniversary of its handover to China. Offering a true area studies treatment of Hong Kong, this is a key interdisciplinary read for students and scholars wishing to explore the territory's complexities--page [4] of cover.
