A timely, well-researched, and vibrant new history of Hong Kong that reveals the untold stories of the diverse peoples who have made it a multicultural world metropolis - and whose freedoms are endangered today.
Hong Kong has always been many cities to many people: a seaport, a gateway to an empire, a place where fortunes can be dramatically made or lost, a place to disappear and reinvent oneself, and a mixing pot of diverse populations from everywhere around the globe. Here, renowned journalist Vaudine England delves into Hong Kong's complex history and its people - diverse, multi-cultural, cosmopolitan - who have made this one-time fishing village into the world port city it is today.
Fortune's Bazaar is the first thorough examination of the varied peoples who made Hong Kong. Those overlooked in history, including the opium-traders who built synagogues or churches, ship-owners carrying gold-rush migrants, property tycoons, and more, are brought to light.
