Global Hong Kong (Hardcover): Cindy Wong, Gary McDonogh Global Hong Kong (Hardcover)
Cindy Wong, Gary McDonogh
R3,900 Discovery Miles 39 000 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Global Hong Kong locates Hong Kong in the contemporary globalizing world. Hong Kong, as the authors argue, is an archetypal place, sitting at the intersection of East and West. It is also a major center for global capital flows and world trade. Moreover, in recent years, the island's global cultural power has become increasingly evident, as Hong Kong popular culture has spread to the West via a booming film industry. While looking at issues of postcoloniality, transnationalism and economic globalization, Wong and McDonogh focus on the new cultures and social formations of contemporary Hong Kong, as well as the transformation of the physical city itself. They also trace the new interconnections - economic, demographic, social and cultural - between Hong Kong and other parts of the worldthat have benn fostered by globalization.
Books in this series look at how nations and regions across the world are navigating the tumultuous currents of globalization. Concise, descriptive, interdisciplinary, and theoretically informed, they serve as ideal introductions to the peoples and places of our increasingly globalized world.

Global Hong Kong (Paperback, New Ed): Cindy Wong, Gary McDonogh Global Hong Kong (Paperback, New Ed)
Cindy Wong, Gary McDonogh
R1,143 Discovery Miles 11 430 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

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.
