註釋

Presents an updated account of Hong Kong and its culture two decades after its reversion to China.

In Found in Transition, Yiu-Wai Chu examines the fate of Hong Kongs unique cultural identity in the contexts of both global capitalism and the increasing influence of China. Drawing on recent developments, especially with respect to language, movies, and popular songs as modes of resistance to Mainlandization and different forms of censorship, Chu explores the challenges facing Hong Kong twenty years after its reversion to China as a Special Administrative Region. Highlighting locality and hybridity along postcolonial lines of interpretation, he also attempts to imagine the future of Hong Kong by utilizing Hong Kong studies as a method. Chu argues that the study of Hong Kongthe place where the impact of the rise of China is most intensely feltcan shed light on emergent crises in different areas of the world. As such, this book represents a consequential follow-up to the authors Lost in Transition and a valuable contribution to international, area, and cultural studies.

This is a wide-ranging and worthy sequel to Chus Lost in Transition. By juxtaposing a series of critical issuesurban development, self-writing, language education, and cultural production, among othersthat have confounded those who care deeply about this former British colony, Chu offers his readers an intelligent and sensitive guide to connect and make sense of the various debates, and he places the conundrums Hong Kong faces in the contexts of both the limits of neoliberal capitalism and the Age of China.
