SUMMARY:Ching Kwan Lee - Hong Kong: Global China’s Restive Frontier
DESCRIPTION:Register now\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSpeaker: Ching Kwan Lee\, Professor of Sociology\, University of California\, Los Angeles \n\n\n\nWas Hong Kong 2019 a “Revolution of Our Times”? \n\n\n\nWhat was “revolutionary” about the anti-extradition movement? Turning its aspirational and stirring slogan into an empirical question\, this talk assesses the breakthroughs and limits of the historic uprising\, against an entrenched colonial hegemony co-produced by British and Chinese rules. Specifically\, we shall review four salient elements of this hegemony that have long defined the boundaries of the “political” in Hong Kong – rule of law\, capitalist /market rationality\, prosperity and stability\, and inevitability of China. To what extent\, how and why had protesters and citizens shattered these colonial boundaries through collective praxis and deliberations? As a critical moment in the long struggle for decolonization\, what were the lessons of 2019? \n\n\n\nChing Kwan Lee is a professor of sociology at UCLA. She is the author of three award-winning monographs on contemporary China’s turn to capitalism: Gender and the South China Miracle: Two Worlds of Factory Women (1998)\, Against the Law: Labor Protests in China’s Rustbelt and Sunbelt  (2007)\, and The Specter of Global China: Politics\, Labor and Foreign Investment in Africa (2017). She is the founding chair of the Society for Hong Kong Studies\, and her latest book on Hong Kong is Hong Kong: Global China’s Restive Frontier (2022). \n\n\n\nPlease email jviator@fas.harvard.edu for the Zoom link.
