Produktbeschreibung

"This groundbreaking book gives shape to what the authors call the 'decolonial left,' which defines itself against the New Cold War rivalries, legacies of British colonialism, and Chinese authoritarianism, to articulate practices of protesting and living in the space of global abolitionism and internationalism from below."

- Shu-mei Shih, Edward W. Said Professor of Comparative Literature, University of California, Los Angeles, USA

"This breakthrough collection of essays is provocative, sincere, and makes not only a timely contribution to Hong Kong Studies but also thoughtful challenges to all who are concerned about Hong Kong."

- Law Wing Sang, Independent Researcher in Exile

This collection brings together writing from activists and scholars that examine leftist and decolonial forms of resistance that have emerged from Hong Kong's contemporary protests. Practices such as labor unionism, police abolition, land justice struggles, and other radical expressions of self-governance may not always operate under the banners of leftism and decoloniality; yet, examining them within these frameworks uncovers historical and prefigurative sightlines that reveal their significance to Hong Kong's future, and interlaces the city's struggles with others around the world.
