Part of the new Globalizing Regions series, this fascinating text
locates Hong Kong at the intersection of East and West in a rapidly
globalizing world. A known major center for global capital flows
and world trade, the former city state's global cultural power has
also become increasingly evident in recent years as Hong Kong
popular culture has spread to the West via a booming film industry.
The authors of this text combine an analysis of the new cultures
and social formations of contemporary Hong Kong, as well as the
transformation of the physical city itself, with the broader issues
of post-colonialism, transnationalism and economic globalization.
They also trace the new interconnections that have been fostered by
globalization - economic, demographic, social and cultural -
between Hong Kong and the surrounding East Asian region as well as
with emigrant Chinese communities in the US. Providing a rich
discussion of Hong Kong's history, society and it's enormously
influential popular culture, this book will be essential reading
for students of Hong Kong and Chinese studies courses, cultural
studies, and also urban studies.
