For more than six months, Hong Kongers braved the police's often violent suppression. At the forefront were young adults fighting not just for universal suffrage but for their vision of a good society, a just economy, rule of law, and a future of self-determination.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eForever Hong Kong\u003c\/em\u003e takes readers deep inside this improbable decolonisation struggle in one of the global centres of capitalism, providing granular insight into a movement that had been gestating for decades. Caught between the relentlessly encroaching Chinese party-state and the kingpins of international commerce—for whom political complacency is the foundation of a stable and profitable business environment—are Hong Kongers themselves. They have inherited an island long under British and now Chinese rule, while maintaining a strong, distinct identity to be defended at all costs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOffering a reflective history, a vivid ethnography, and a piercing analysis of political economy, Ching Kwan Lee tells the story of her native city at a pivotal moment of geopolitical rivalry between China and the West. Her novel analysis of how colonised subjects have transformed into agents of history breaks new ground for the study of decolonisation worldwide.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46790795264236,"sku":"9780674290198","price":90.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/1403863482428.jpg?v=1756975566"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.live\/collections\/ching-kwan-lee.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
