Hong Kong Society

This book borrows the concept of high-definition from digital broadcasting to highlight our unique approach to Hong Kong society, which gives a sharper image than analyses. It intends to highlight contrasts with many common and taken-for-granted stories, myths and representations of Hong Kong which often presented with a low level of detail, lacking proper connections between grounded personal experiences and the macro social context. With chapters covering various salient dimensions of Hong Kongs society, including migration, economy, inequality, identity and social movements, our high-definition approach presents images with high enough resolution to match multiple layers of experiences from walks of life of Hong Kong people, contributing to an understanding of how global transformation impacts local peoples experiences, as well as Hong Kongs significance in the regional and global system.
