This book offers a sharp, critical analysis of the rise and fall of
the 2019 anti-extradition bill movement in Hong Kong, including
prior events like Occupy Central and the Mongkok Fishball
Revolution, as well as their aftermaths in light of the
re-assertion of mainland sovereignty over the SAR. Reading the
conflict against the grain of those who would romanticize it or
simply condemn it in nationalistic fashion, Vukovich goes beyond
mediatized discourse to disentangle its roots in the Basic Law
system as well as in the colonial and insufficiently post-colonial
contexts and dynamics of Hong Kong. He examines the question of
localist identity and its discontents, the problems of nativism,
violence, and liberalism, the impossibility of autonomy, and what
forms a genuine de-colonization can and might yet take in the city.
A concluding chapter examines Hong Kong's need for state capacity
and proper, livelihood development, in the light of the Omicron
wave of the Covid pandemic, as the SAR goes forward into a second
handover era.
