1997年，英国将香港的控制权归还给中国，结束了香港作为大英帝国最后残余之一的地位，并开始了一个新的阶段，成为一个现代化的城市和全球移民的中心。香港是一个城市的后殖民城市景观之旅，通过实地考察和摄影创新地告诉。
卡罗琳·诺尔斯和道格拉斯哈珀进入香港的切入点是那些在过渡后选择留在香港的英国侨民的不寻常的立场。现在，香港的英国移民人数相对较少，但他们与另一个少数群体--东南亚移民--关系密切。这两个群体的生活、旅程和故事给生活带来了一个地方，在这个地方，过去继续引起所有居民的共鸣，即使这座城市正朝着一个以短暂和过渡为标志的未来迈进。通过巧妙地融合民族志和视觉方法，香港提供了一个迷人的城市指南，在其近代历史上是独一无二的，也是我们全球化的典范。
In 1997 the United Kingdom returned control of Hong Kong to China, ending the city’s status as one of the last remnants of the British Empire and initiating a new phase for it as both a modern city and a hub for global migrations. Hong Kong is a tour of the city’s postcolonial urban landscape, innovatively told through fieldwork and photography.
Caroline Knowles and Douglas Harper’s point of entry into Hong Kong is the unusual position of the British expatriates who chose to remain in the city after the transition. Now a relatively insignificant presence, British migrants in Hong Kong have become intimately connected with another small minority group there: immigrants from Southeast Asia. The lives, journeys, and stories of these two groups bring to life a place where the past continues to resonate for all its residents, even as the city hurtles forward into a future marked by transience and transition. By skillfully blending ethnographic and visual approaches, Hong Kong offers a fascinating guide to a city that is at once unique in its recent history and exemplary of our globalized present.
