Since 2003, Hong Kong has witnessed a series of large-scale
protests which have constituted the core of a reinvigorated
pro-democracy movement. What drove tens of thousands of citizens to
the street on a yearly basis to protest? What were the social and
organizational bases of the protest movement? How did media and
public discourses affect the protests' formation and mobilization?
How did the protesters understand their own actions and the
political environment? This book tackles such questions by using a
wide range of methods, including population and protest onsite
surveys, media content analysis, and in-depth interviews with
activists, politicians, and protest participants. It provides an
account of the "self-mobilization processes" behind the historic
July 1, 2003 protest, and how the protest kick-started new
political dynamics and discursive contestations in the public arena
which not only turned a single protest into a series of collective
actions constituting a movement, but also continually shaped the
movement's characteristics and influence. The book is highly
pertinent to readers interested in political development in Hong
Kong, and as a case study on "the power of critical events," the
book also has broad implications on the study of both media
politics and social movements in general.
