Stephen W.K. Chiu's Books

This book borrows the concept of “high-definition” from digital broadcasting technology to highlight our unique approach to Hong Kong society to give a sharper image than conventional lower resolution “standard-definition” system. It intends to highlight contrasts with many common and taken-for-granted stories, myths and representations of Hong Kong—to which we consider only “standard-definition” with low degree of detail, lacking proper connections between grounded personal experience and macro social context. With chapters covering various salient dimensions of Hong Kong’s society, including migration, economy, inequality, identity and social movements, our “high-definition“ approach present images with high enough “resolution” to match multiple layers of experiences from walks of life of Hong Kong people, contributing to an understanding of how global transformation impacts on local people’s experiences, as well as Hong Kong’s significance in the regional and global system.
