My Hong Kong by Malcolm Jack
How was Hong Kong perceived and described by writers from the 1950s during the last colonial period? Was it a British city or was it Chinese?The writers show how different life was for ex-pats ensconced on the Peak and leading a glitzy lifestyle compared to refugees who came pouring into the colony from mainland China and lived in dire poverty in squatter camps.
Find out if that East and West ever mingled in My Hong Kong.
Malcolm Jack has written about eighteenth-century philosophy and literature and has edited the works of both Lady Wortley Montagu and William Beckford. His most recent book, 'Sintra: A Glorious Eden', was published in 2002. He has had a home in Portugal for many years.
