New Books from Hong Kong University Press  MORE TITLES FROM HONG KONG UNIVERSITY PRESS Transnational Feminism and Women's Movements in Post-1997 Hong Kong Solidarity Beyond the State Adelyn Lim Lim offers the first comprehensive account of feminism and women's movements in Hong Kong. The work begins with a critical history of women's mobilization during the British colonial period and the lead up to governance under the People's Republic of China. Subsequent chapters discuss the organizational forms, rhetoric, and strategies of women's groups in addressing the feminization of poverty, engagement with state institutions, violence against women, prostitution, and domestic work. Conflicts between feminist ideals and the realities and demands of the socio-political environment are thrown into sharp relief. The empirical analysis makes a case for Hong Kong to be considered as a prime site to challenge and renew the theorizing of transnational feminism.   $35.00 $24.50 | Paper | 168 pages  | £24.00   USE COUPON CODE "EMAIL" AND SAVE 30% Opulence of Jao's Lotus The Formation and Development of the Jao's Lotus Tang Wai Hung Since the beginning of the new century, Professor Jao has been furthering his techniques of lotus painting with modulation through brush method, coloration and even composition, many of which has not been used by the predecessors.
