| Summary |
This collection brings together writing from activists and scholars that examine leftist and decolonial forms of resistance that have emerged from Hong Kongs contemporary protests. Practices such as labor unionism, police abolition, land justice struggles, and other radical expressions of self-governance may not always operate under the banners of leftism and decoloniality; yet, examining them within these frameworks uncovers historical and prefigurative sightlines that reveal their significance to Hong Kongs future, and interlaces the citys struggles with others around the world. Wen Liu is assistant research fellow at the Institute of Ethnology, Academia Sinica, in Taiwan. Her writing has published in journals such as American Quarterly, Feminism & Psychology, Journal of Asian American Studies, and Subjectivity. JN Chien is a Ph.D. candidate in American Studies and Ethnicity at the University of Southern California. His writing has appeared in Hong Kong Studies, The Nation, Jacobin, and Lausan. Christina Chung is a Ph.D. candidate researching the intersections of decolonial feminism and Hong Kong contemporary art at the University of Washington. Her writing has been published by Asia Art Archive, College Arts Association Reviews, and in Creating Across Cultures: Women in the Arts from China, Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan (East Slope Publishing, 2017). Ellie Tse is a Ph.D. student in Cultural and Comparative Studies at the Department of Asian Languages & Cultures at the University of California, Los Angeles |
