Reading Hong Kong, Reading Ourselves
About this book
This book, written by fourteen reflective scholars about living and learning from Hong Kong, builds on the growing interest of using "place" as text while providing a model of deepening cross-cultural encounters. Each chapter is written in a personal and experiential style, exploring Hong Kong through the lenses of a range of disciplines that shaped individual author's perceptions and encounters.
