Hong Kong has become a by-word for all that is modern in Asia, yet brochures still display the old images of "East meets West". This collection of essays attempts to transcend the old polarities, looking at modern Hong Kong through the mediums of film, food, architectures, rumours and slang.
This book seeks to transcend the old 'East meets West' polarities. Looking at modern Hong Kong in all its splendour and diversity at the point of its re-absorption into China, it explores the question of a distinct, modern Chinese identity in Hong Kong. Intriguing insights.
