Description

The Politics of Language in Hong Kong examines the intricate relationship between language policy and political power in one of Asia's most linguistically complex societies. This Routledge Research volume explores how language choices, education policies, and multilingual identities have shaped Hong Kong's political landscape across historical periods. The book investigates the tensions between Cantonese, English, and Putonghua, revealing how linguistic governance reflects broader struggles for autonomy, cultural preservation, and identity. Drawing on archival research and contemporary analysis, it provides essential insights into how language functions as both a tool of governance and a site of resistance in Hong Kong's unique political context. Scholars of Asian politics, sociolinguistics, and postcolonial studies will find this comprehensive exploration vital for understanding the cultural and political dimensions of language in the region.
