Description

South China Morning Post's reporting team looks back at Hong Kong's most wrenching political crisis since its return to Chinese rule in 1997. Anti-extradition bill protests that morphed rapidly into a wider anti-government movement in 2019 left no aspect of the city untouched, from its social compact to its body politic to its open economy. The demonstrations which continued well into 2020 have tested every institution of the city, from the civil service to the police to the courts and even its rail transport operator, and from offices and businesses to universities and schools, and from churches to families and even friends. This book is for anyone seeking to understand not just what Hong Kong has gone through but also the global phenomenon of increasingly leaderless protest movements. Fueled by profound angst about the place of millennial youth in society, widening income inequality, and the speed of digital communications, Hong Kong was in retrospect ripe to be the laboratory for a new-age protest movement, nearly a decade after the Middle East's Arab spring. The essays in the book collectively compose a picture of a society in trauma, bent and broken, but showing signs of an uncanny ability to bounce back. What shape it will be in a few years from now, however, is much harder to predict. Contents: Foreword Acknowledgments Introduction Path to a Firestorm Water and Fire The Mobilized and the Marginalized In the Crossfire Law and Disorder Beyond Borders Reflections Scanning the Horizon Recommended Videos Glossary Index Readership: The general public, sociologists, political scientists, and pundits with an interest in the Hong Kong unrest, what it means for Hong Kong society, and its impact in international politics, social movements, and possibly the economy.
