Bookended by two major historical incidents, the 1980s will probably enter the annals of Hong Kong history as the decade that defined its future after reversion to Mainland China. Having witnessed and experienced the rise of Hong Kong pop culture to unprecedented heights in this decade, the author enhances its context through a story about his own personal belongings. Examining popular genres including television, film, music, fashion, disco and city magazine, this book teases out the distinctive aspects of Hong Kong pop culture that defined (his) Hong Kong. As Hong Kong has been undergoing drastic changes in recent years, it is necessary to point toward new imaginaries by re-examining its development. Toward this end, this book will shed light on an important research area of Hong Kong Studies as an academic discipline.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: NLItem Height: 234mmItem Length: 156mmAuthor: Yiu-Wai ChuGenre: Society & CultureTopic: Social Sciences, HistoryBook Series: Asian Visual CulturesType: AnthropologyRelease Year: 2023 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
