{"product_id":"covert-colonialism-florence-mok-9781526182333","title":"Covert Colonialism: Governance, Surveillance and Political Culture in British Hong Kong, C. 1966-97","description":"This book fills the long-standing void in the existing scholarship by constructing an empirical study of colonial governance and political culture in Hong Kong from 1966 to 1997.Using under-exploited archival and unofficial data in London and Hong Kong, it overcomes the limitations in the existing literature which has been written mainly by political scientists and sociologists, and has been primarily theoretically driven. It addresses a highly contested and timely agenda, one in which colonial historians have made major interventions: the nature of colonial governance and autonomy of the colonial polity. This book focusing on colonialism and the Chinese society in Hong Kong in a pivotal period will generate meaningful discussions and heated debates on comparisons between 'colonialism' in different space and time: between Hong Kong and other former British colonies; and between colonial and post-colonial Hong Kong.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Florence Mok\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1526182335\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781526182333\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Manchester University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/24\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 296\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.93lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.62d","brand":"Florence Mok","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46110885445887,"sku":"9781526182333","price":36.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_368fe2a2-fa22-4013-b037-3c609a2e0278.jpg?v=1725470052","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/covert-colonialism-florence-mok-9781526182333","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
