Recenzje

'This lucidly written book offers a timely analysis of the various shapes of Hong Kong’s thriving localism. It is both empirically rich and theoretically sound. In general, it reveals to keen readers a complex systems theory of changing interconnections, including; generational replacement, new socio-political movements, delicately changing situational identity informed by established as well as emerging social, economic and political divides. It is a must read for anyone who wishes to understand the haphazard development of Hong Kong in a process of accelerating absorption into Mainland China.' - KUAN, Hsin Chi, Emeritus Professor, The Chinese University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong
