Dispossesion and Defiance in Hong Kong. When protests erupted in Hong Kong in 2019 and were met with escalating suppression from Beijing, Louisa Lim – raised in Hong Kong as a half-Chinese, half-English child, and now a reporter who had covered the region for more than a decade – realised that she was uniquely positioned to unearth the citys untold stories. Lims deeply researched and personal account is startling, casting new light on key moments the British takeover in 1842, the negotiations over the 1997 return to China, and the future Beijing seeks to impose.
