This book explores the dynamic and evolving identity of Hong Kong amidst significant cultural, social, and political changes, both within the region and across its global diaspora.

Moving beyond the dominant narratives of transition and negotiation, the book highlights how Hong Kong identity is actively redefined and reimagined through diverse cultural expressions and investigates various facets of Hong Kong's culture, including food, popular music, literature, digital media, and stand-up comedy. Through these lenses, the book examines how Hong Kong identity is maintained, transformed, and expressed in response to shifting social landscapes, migration, and exile. The collection also offers a comprehensive exploration of cultural artefacts that shape the lived experiences of Hongkongers at home and abroad, from popular entertainment to highbrow poetry, and from Cantonese to English-language expression, spanning musical, spoken, written, material, visual, and culinary forms.
