Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Based on numerous qualitative interviews, this cutting edge book investigates how Hong Kong's economic structure and neoliberal policies have contributed to class inequality in China's global city. Inspired by Bourdieu's approach to class, the author examines class stratification in education, works, and political attitudes and argues that the lack of explicit class identifications among the people does not imply irrelevance of class. Relying upon empirical field data to question the applicability of the reflexive modernization theory, the text debates whether individualization makes class a redundant concept in advanced capitalist societies.

Download or read book Hong Kong s New Identity Politics written by Iam-chong Ip and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-11-28 with total page 267 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ip uses Hong Kong as a case study in how the production of the desire for "the local" lies at the heart of global cultural economy. Perhaps more so than most places, the construction of a local identity in Hong Kong has come about through a complex interplay of neoliberalism, postcoloniality and reaction to the consequent anxieties and uncertainties. As its importance as an economic centre has diminished and its relationship with Mainland China has become more strained, its people have become more concerned to define a "Hong Kong" identity that can be defended from external threat. Ip analyses the working and reworking of power relations and modes of agency in this global city. A must read for scholars of Hong Kong politics and society as well as a fascinating case study for scholars of identity politics as a global phenomenon.

Abstract: Abstract of thesis entitled "Middle Class Identity in Hong Kong: A Qualitative Study in the Post-SARS Period" Submitted by Yau Hoi Yan for the degree of Master of Philosophy at The University of Hong Kong in June 2006. Identity is a crucial area of sociological studies. In Hong Kong, identity study is even more peculiar and complex. In fact, it is generally believed that an indigenous Hong Kong identity only emerged in the late 1950s and is still under constant transformation. There are a number of studies that have reviewed Hong Kong identity. The commonly called Hong Kong Stories also outline the gradual evolution of the Hong Kong society. All these provide a solid foundation of our understanding about the Hong Kong identity. They tell us that Hong Kong Stories are in shape and in flux. Middle class are central to this as the constructions of Hong Kong Stories convince us that they are our value and identity bearers. In the year of 2003, a number of crisis events, namely SARS (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome) outbreak and the July 1 rally, have provided us with a strong stimulant for us to rethink about our Hong Kong identity. Therefore, there is a research gap for me to undertake a study that updates our understanding about 2Hong Kong identity specifically in crisis times. The middle class' thoughts and acts of re-articlulation would be concentrated. Moreover, I have categorized the core patterns and variations in the middle class articulation of Hong Kong identity. It is because identity is believed to be made up of shared clusters as well as varying elements. In my study, it is discovered that respondents share a common belief in the Hong Kong Dream, certain values of Western modernization and a Hong Kong-centric identification. They represent the essential core elements of Hong Kong identity that are shared among my respondents. At the same time, it is found that there are a number of variations among them. They are namely in terms of boundary-drawing, value systems and social actions. All this adds up to three major categories of my respondents who are the conscious, pragmatic or ambivalent middle class.

Download or read book Democracy Denied written by Nicholas Thomas and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-12-17 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Published in 1999, this book is designed to provide the reader with a detailed understanding of Hong Kong’s social and political development. It offers a contemporary, holistic understanding of Hong Kong, which will not only complement existing works but also provide the reader with a solid foundation for understanding future developments in the territory. The book is divided into three sections: Identity, Civil Society and Politics. The first two sections provide a discrete understanding of the issues involved. This analysis is then utilised to explain the particular path of political development Hong Kong experienced in the 1980s and 1990s. Due to the in-depth analysis provided this work will be of use either to academics or to members of the general public seeking to understand the development of Hong Kong.
Download or read book Reorienting Hong Kong s Resistance written by Wen Liu and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-01-27 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book brings together writing from activists and scholars that examine leftist and decolonial forms of resistance that have emerged from Hong Kong’s contemporary era of protests. Practices such as labor unionism, police abolition, land justice struggles, and other radical expressions of self-governance may not explicitly operate under the banners of leftism and decoloniality. Nevertheless, examining them within these frameworks uncovers historical, transnational, and prefigurative sightlines that can help to contextualize and interpret their impact for Hong Kong’s political future. This collection offers insights not only into Hong Kong's local struggles, but their interconnectedness with global movements as the city remains on the frontlines of international politics.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hong Kong Management and Labour argues, in a series of previously unpublished, completely up-to-date contributions, that economic and social change has been ongoing in Hong Kong for many years, and political change is perhaps less important for labour and management in the region. This book is written bearing in mind the concerns of policy makers and managers - particularly human resource managers, and those interested in labour relations, trade unions, labour markets and law, and comparative management.
Download or read book Eurasian written by Emma Teng and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2013-07-13 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the second half of the nineteenth century, global labor migration, trade, and overseas study brought China and the United States into close contact, leading to new cross-cultural encounters that brought mixed-race families into being. Yet the stories of these families remain largely unknown. How did interracial families negotiate their identities within these societies when mixed-race marriage was taboo and “Eurasian” often a derisive term? In Eurasian, Emma Jinhua Teng compares Chinese-Western mixed-race families in the United States, China, and Hong Kong, examining both the range of ideas that shaped the formation of Eurasian identities in these diverse contexts and the claims set forth by individual Eurasians concerning their own identities. Teng argues that Eurasians were not universally marginalized during this era, as is often asserted. Rather, Eurasians often found themselves facing contradictions between exclusionary and inclusive ideologies of race and nationality, and between overt racism and more subtle forms of prejudice that were counterbalanced by partial acceptance and privilege. By tracing the stories of mixed and transnational families during an earlier era of globalization, Eurasian also demonstrates to students, faculty, scholars, and researchers how changes in interracial ideology have allowed the descendants of some of these families to reclaim their dual heritage with pride.

Download or read book Working Class Formation written by Ira Katznelson and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2021-04-13 with total page 480 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Applying an original theoretical framework, an international group of historians and social scientists here explores how class, rather than other social bonds, became central to the ideologies, dispositions, and actions of working people, and how this process was translated into diverse institutional legacies and political outcomes. Focusing principally on France. Germany, and the United States, the contributors examine the historically contingent connections between class, as objectively structured and experienced, and collective perceptions and responses as they develop in work, community, and politics. Following Ira Katznelson's introduction of the analytical concepts, William H. Sewell, Jr., Michelle Perrot, and Alain Cottereau discuss France; Amy Bridges and Martin Shefter, the United States; and Jargen Kocka and Mary Nolan, Germany. The conclusion by Aristide R. Zolberg comments on working-class formation up to World War I, including developments in Great Britain, and challenges conventional wisdom about class and politics in the industrializing West.
