The Paradox of Activism and Depoliticization: The Paradox of Activism and Depoliticization

Produktbeschreibung

This book challenges the belief that Hong Kong's political culture is one of indifference. "Political indifference" is used to suggest the apathy, naivete, passivity, and utilitarianism of Hong Kong's people toward political life. Taking a historical look at political participation, Wai-man Lam argues that this is not a valid view.
