Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally issued in 1938, Graham Heywood's delightful account of his pre-war expeditions in the New Territories, Hong Kong, and Lantau Island was enthusiastically received by Hong Kong's walking and rambling devotees, and subsequently reissued in 1951. This new edition of Rambles in Hong Kong features Heywood's original text, taken from the 1951 edition, reprinted on the verso page, and Richard Gee's own contemporary commentary on Heywood's walks and climbs on the facing recto page. Gee follows in Heywood's footsteps enabling 1990s ramblers to discover for themselves the secrets of Hong Kong's wilderness and compare the changes that have transformed the Hong Kong area since the war. Gee has added a wealth of historical quotes and anecdotes, and has considered topics such as afforestation, country parks, rock worship, names of hills, and Chinese graves. The book's style is easy to read and its size is easy to carry, making it a perfect companion for anyone setting out to explore Hong Kong's countryside.

Download or read book The Great Difference written by James Hayes and published by Hong Kong University Press. This book was released on 2012-07-01 with total page 487 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: James Stewart Lockhart called it "the great difference". Returned from an inspection tour of the newly leased extension to Hong Kong territory in August 1898, Lockhart, a senior Hong Kong colonial official, had used this phrase to describe the gulf between the New Territories and its people and the existing British colony of Hong Kong and its inhabitants. In this volume, James Hayes argues that this "the great difference" led the colonial government to administer the New Territories and its people differently from the old urban area from the outset, resulting in repercussions that affect present-day Hong Kong. The study covers the whole period of the Lease, with all its crowded events and dramatic changes, as they affected the native inhabitants and their relationship with the government and, over time, the many times larger new urban population. James Hayes (PhD Lond; HonDLitt, HK) is a scholar of the Hong Kong region and its people. He worked in the New Territories for almost half his thirty-two years of government service, and was Regional Secretary in charge of district administration there in 1985-87. His publications include Friends and Teachers: Hong Kong and Its People 1953-87 (Hong Kong University Press, 1996) and South China Village Culture (2001).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What roles did Americans play in the expanding global empires of the nineteenth century? Thomas M. Larkin examines the Hong Kong–based Augustine Heard & Company, the most prominent American trading firm in treaty-port China, to explore the ways American elites at once made and were made by British colonial society. Following the Heard brothers throughout their firm’s rise and decline, The China Firm reveals how nineteenth-century China’s American elite adapted to colonial culture, helped entrench social and racial hierarchies, and exploited the British imperial project for their own profit as they became increasingly invested in its political affairs and commercial networks. Through the central narrative of Augustine Heard & Co., Larkin disentangles the ties that bound the United States to China and the British Empire in the nineteenth century. Drawing on a vast range of archival material from Hong Kong, China, Boston, and London, he weaves the local and the global together to trace how Americans gained acceptance into and contributed to the making of colonial societies and world-spanning empires. Uncovering the transimperial lives of these American traders and the complex ways extraimperial communities interacted with British colonialism, The China Firm makes a vital contribution to global histories of nineteenth-century Asia and provides an alternative narrative of British empire.
