The idea of 'national identity' is an ambiguous one for Hong Kong.
Returned to the national embrace of China on 1 July 1997 after 150
years as a British colony, the concept of national identity and
what it means to "belong to a nation" is a matter of great tension
and contestation in Hong Kong. Written by three academic
specialists on Hong Kong cultural identity, social history, and
mass media, this book explores the processes through which the
people of Hong Kong are "learning to belong to a nation" by
examining their relationship with the Chinese nation and state in
the recent past, present, and future. It considers the complex
meanings of and debates over national identity in Hong Kong over
the past fifty years and especially during the last decade
following Hong Kong's return to China. It also places these
arguments within a larger, global perspective, to ask what Hong
Kong can teach us about national identity and its potential
transformations. Multidisciplinary in its approach, Hong Kong and
China explores national identity in terms of theory, mass media,
survey date, ethnography and history, and will appeal to students
and scholars of Chinese history, cultural studies, and nationalism.
