Book excerpt: As a former British colony (1842-1997) and then a Special Administrative Region (from 1997 onwards) practising the 'One Country Two Systems' policy with the People's Republic of China, Hong Kong has witnessed at all times how relations are formed, dissolved and refashioned amidst changing powers, identities and narratives, given the many names it possessed over the course of history. Via the lens of places, things and cultural icons, this book offers lessons to learn from Hong Kong by opening up manifold postcolonial, translocal and planetary perspectives to confront and interrogate the volatile experiences in the new millennia-unprecedented since the Cold War period of the twentieth century-shared by Hong Kong and other regions.
