When the British occupied the tiny island of Hong Kong during the First Opium War, the Chinese empire was well into its decline, while Great Britain was already in the second decade of its legendary "Imperial Century." From this collision of empires arose a city that continues to intrigue observers. Melding Chinese and Western influences, Hong Kong has long defied easy categorization. John M. Carroll's engrossing and accessible narrative explores the remarkable history of Hong Kong from the early 1800s through the post-1997 handover, when this former colony became a Special Administrative Region of the People's Republic of China. The book explores Hong Kong as a place with a unique identity, yet also a crossroads where Chinese history, British colonial history, and world history intersect. Carroll concludes by exploring the legacies of colonial rule, the consequences of Hong Kong's reintegration with China, and significant developments and challenges since 1997.

For 150 years as a British colony, Hong Kong was a beacon of prosperity and freedom. When the territory was handed over to China in 1997, the Communist Party promised that Hong Kong would remain highly autonomous for fifty years. But as the halfway mark approaches in 2022, it is clear that China has not kept its word to govern under the principle of 'one country, two systems'. Today Hong Kong, Tomorrow the World tells the complete story of how a city once famed for peaceful protests became a place where police have fired more than 10,000 rounds of tear gas, rubber bullets and even live ammunition at their neighbours, while pro-government hooligans attack demonstrators in the streets. A Hong Kong resident from 1992 to 2021, Mark L. Clifford has witnessed this transformation first-hand and has unrivalled access to the full range of the city's society, from student protestors to aristocrats and senior government officials. A powerful and dramatic mix of history and on-the-ground reporting, this book is the definitive account of one of the most important geopolitical standoffs of our time.

On June 30, 1997, Hong Kong as we knew disappeared, ceased its singular and ambiguous existence as a colonial holdover and became part of the People's Republic of China. In an exploration of its cinema, architecture, photography, and literature, Ackbar Abbas considers what Hong Kong, with its unique relations to decolonization and disappearance, can teach us about the future of both the colonial city and the global city. The culture of Hong Kong encompasses Jackie Chan and John Woo, and postmodern skyscrapers. According to Abbas, Hong Kong's peculiar lack of identity is due to its status "not so much a place as a space of transit", whose residents think of themselves as transients and migrants on their way from China to somewhere else. Abbas explores the way that Hong Kong's media saturation changes its people's experience of space so that it becomes abstract, dominated by signs and images that dispel memory, history, and presence. Hong Kong disappears through simple dualities such as East/West and tradition/modernity. What is missing from a view of Hong Kong as merely a colony is the paradox that Hong Kong has benefitted and made a virtue of its dependent colonial status, turning itself into a global and financial city and outstripping its colonizer in terms of wealth. Combining theory and a critical perspective, this work captures the complex situation of the metropolis that is contemporary Hong Kong. Ackbar Abbas is a Senior Lecturer in Comparative Literature at the University of Hong Kong. This book is intended for students and researchers working in Asian and cultural studies.

This work has established itself as "the definitive description of the Hong Kong government and its underlying politics." It is a complete and systematic examination of the machinery of government within its social, economic, and cultural contexts, and has been substantially revised to take account of the changing context in which policies are being made as 1997 nears. The author details the most recent constitutional developments towards democracy, and describes the changes that will take place in the system of government in 1997 when Hong Kong becomes a Special Administrative Region of the People's Republic of China.
