New & Recent Merchants of Canton and Macao
Success and Failure in Eighteenth-Century Chinese Trade ( 廣州及澳門商人：18 世紀中外貿易史上的成與敗 )
Paul A. Van Dyke Merchants were central to the huge growth in China’s foreign trade and contributed to the development of world markets and networks. Merchants of Canton and Macao: Success and Failure in Eighteenth-Century Chinese Trade brings together much new research about the inner workings of the merchants of Canton and Macao. The book studies in detail the leading Chinese merchants and merchant families as well as the porcelain and silk trades. By examining the successes and failures of dozens of Chinese merchants involved in foreign trade, it provides fresh insights into China’s unique form of capitalism and her role in the rise of global commerce. Van Dyke’s conclusions on the nature of Qing policy towards foreign trade are bold, original and supported by intensive research. In contrast to the traditional focus on British and American trade, his research draws on archives in multiple languages, spread around the world.

In The Classical Gardens of Shanghai , Shelly Bryant looks at five of Shanghai’s remaining classical gardens through their origins, changing fortunes, restorations, and links to a wider Chinese aesthetic. Shanghai’s classical gardens are as much text as space; they exist in art, poetry, and literature as much as in stone, rock, and earth. But these gardens have not remained static entities. Rather, they have been remodelled constantly since their inception. This book reflects this process within the constancy of traditional Chinese horticulture and reveals Shanghai’s remaining classical gardens as places representing wealth and social status, social and dynastic shifts, through falling family fortunes and political revolutions to search for a recovery of China’s ancient culture in the modern day. Shelly Bryant, poet, translator, teacher, researcher, and writer, splits her time between Singapore and Shanghai. She is the author of six poetry collections and two travel guides, and has translated more than ten books from Chinese to English. ‘Like a classical Chinese garden, this admirable and beautifully balanced book conjures up wider landscapes from within a small compass. It can be savoured on many levels: poetic and aesthetic no less than scholarly and intellectual. It is the next best thing to being guided through such gardens by Shelly Bryant herself.’ —Lynn Pan, author of When True Love Came to China and Shanghai Style

Most people suppose that the whole world knows what it is to love; that romantic love is universal, quintessentially human. Such a supposition has to be able to meet three challenges. It has to justify its underlying assumption that all cultures mean the same thing by the word ‘love’ regardless of language. It has to engage with the scholarly debate on whether or not romantic love was invented in Europe and is uniquely Western. And it must be able to explain why early twentieth-century Chinese writers claimed that they had never known true love, or love by modern Western standards. By addressing these three challenges through a literary, historical, philosophical, biographical and above all comparative approach, this highly original work shows how love’s profile in China shifted with the rejection of arranged marriages and concubinage in favour of free individual choice, monogamy and a Western model of romantic love. Lynn Pan was born in Shanghai and educated in London and Cambridge, England. She is the author of more than a dozen books on China and the Chinese diaspora, including Shanghai Style; Tracing It Home ; and Sons of the Yellow Emperor, the winner of the Martin Luther King Memorial Prize. ‘This book, Lynn Pan’s best to date, adds a wonderful new angle by encouraging us, via comparison, to better appreciate how unusual, even in some ways exotic, a part of the Western past we take for granted, as though it were natural, actually is. While the reader will learn a great deal about Chinese literary and cultural traditions from this book, if read with an open mind the Western reader may end up rethinking things about his or her tradition just as deeply.’ —Jeffrey N. Wasserstrom, Chancellor’s Professor of History, University of California at Irvine

Tomaszewski has resided in Vermont, Montana, and Ireland, working in various fields: farmer, mechanic, maintenance man, chocolatier, bookseller, and is a founding producer of Lamp Light Musical Festival and cofounder of Great Lakes Commonwealth of Letters. “These visionary poems suggest that every world is manifold worlds, that mundane experience is saturated with the sacred if we practice using the heart’s and soul’s eyes to look and see. In this book, the world is measured by the heart’s scale and the soul’s rule, and the result is a beautiful human singing.” —Li-Young Lee, final judge of the HKU International Poetry Prize 2014 “Reading Z.G. Tomaszewski’s All Things Dusk is to be reunited with every universe and atom of existence. These lyrical prayers emerge from when, as the poet writes, ‘the self is still.’ In Tomaszewski’s vision of a shattered Eden, there is transcendence of and immersion in all that is with us. The paradoxes comfort, sustain, and restore awe’s truth.” —Jack Ridl, author of Broken Symmetry (recipient of the Society of Midland Authors Award for Poetry), Losing Season , and Practicing to Walk Like a Heron (chosen for the poetry gold medal by Foreword Reviews).

New & Recent Translingual Narration Colonial and Postcolonial Taiwanese Fiction and Film (跨語敘事：殖民和後殖民時期的臺灣小說與電影 )
Bert Mittchell Scruggs Translingual Narration is a study of colonial Taiwanese fiction, its translation from Japanese to Chinese, and films produced during and about the colonial era. It is a postcolonial intervention into a field largely dominated by studies of colonial Taiwanese writing as either a branch of Chinese fiction or part of a larger empire of Japanese language texts. Rather than read Taiwanese fiction as simply belonging to one of two discourses, Bert Scruggs argues for disengaging the nation from the former colony to better understand colonial Taiwan and its postcolonial critics.

“Translingual Narration not only makes the important shift away from the predominantly Chinacentered and Japan-centered approaches in the subfield of Taiwan literary studies but also manages to substantiate this position with competent, highly persuasive textual analysis as well as theoretically informed assessments of historical realities behind key literary/cinematic texts.” —Sung-Sheng Yvonne Chang, University of Texas at Austin

www.hkupress.org
Following early chapters on the identity politics behind Chinese translations of Japanese texts, attempts to establish a vernacular Taiwanese literature, and critical space, Scruggs provides close readings of short fiction through the critical prisms of locative and cultural or ethnic identity to suggest that cultural identity is evidence of free will. Stories and novellas are also viewed through the critical prism of class-consciousness, including the writings of Yang Kui (1906–1985), who unlike most of his contemporaries wrote politically engaged literature. Scruggs completes his core examination of identity by reading short fiction through the prism of gender identity and posits a resemblance between gender politics in colonial Taiwan and pre-independence India. The work goes on to test the limits of nostalgia and solastalgia in fiction and film by looking at how both the colonial future and past are remembered before concluding with political uses of cinematic murder. Films considered in this chapter include colonial-era government propaganda documentaries and postcolonial representations of colonial cosmopolitanism and oppression. Finally, ideas borrowed from translation and memory studies as well as indigenization are suggested as possible avenues of discovery for continued interventions into the study of postcolonial and colonial Taiwanese fiction and culture. With its insightful and informed analysis of the diverse nature of Taiwanese identity, Translingual Narration will engage a broad audience with interests in East Asian and postcolonial literature, film, history, and culture. Bert Mittchell Scruggs teaches in the Department of East Asian Languages and Literatures at the University of California, Irvine. Spring 2016

The New Hong Kong Cinema series Yonfan’s Bugis Street (楊凡的《妖街皇后（三畫二郎情）》)
Kenneth Chan Bugis Street was famous (or notorious) for being a haunt of transgender prostitution in the early decades of postcolonial Singapore. Since then the site has been a source of touristic obsession and local cultural anxiety. In his 1995 film Bugis Street , director Yonfan brings the short lane back to vivid cinematic life. By focusing on the film’s representations of queer sexualities and transgender experience, this book contends that the underappreciated Bugis Street is a significant instance of queer transnational cinema. The film’s playful yet nuanced articulations of queer embodiment, spatiality, and temporality provide an unexpected intervention in the public discourses on LGBT politics, activism, and cultures in Singapore today. This book’s arrival at a much more complicated and contradictory picture of the discursive Bugis Street, through the examination of Yonfan’s film and a range of other cultural and literary texts, adds a new critical dimension to the ongoing historical, geographical, sociological, ethnographic, and artistic analyses of this controversial space. Kenneth Chan is associate professor of English and director of film studies at the University of Northern Colorado. He is the author of Remade in Hollywood: The Global Chinese Presence in Transnational Cinemas (Hong Kong University Press).

First Queer Voices from Thailand: Uncle Go’s Advice Columns for Gays, Lesbians and Kathoeys is a fully revised and substantially expanded edition of Peter Jackson’s highly regarded pioneering study of an Asian gay culture, Male Homosexuality in Thailand (1989). The hero of Jackson’s fascinating narrative is “Uncle Go”, pen name of the sexually libertarian but avowedly heterosexual editor of a popular magazine, whose “agony uncle” columns in the 1970s provided unique spaces in the national press for Thailand’s gays, lesbians and transgenders (kathoeys) to speak for themselves in the public domain. By allowing the voices of alternative sexualities to be heard, Uncle Go emerged as Thailand’s first champion of gender equality and sexual rights. Peter Jackson translates and analyses selected correspondence published in Uncle Go’s advice columns, preserving and presenting important primary sources. In this new edition, Jackson has expanded his coverage to include not only letters from Thai gay men, but also those from lesbians and transgenders, thus capturing the full diversity of Thailand’s modern queer cultures at a key moment in their historical development when new understandings of sexual identities were first communicated to the wider community. Peter A. Jackson is emeritus professor of Thai history at the Australian National University and editor of Queer Bangkok: 21st Century Markets, Media, and Rights (HKU Press, 2011).

Queer Asia series Editorial Collective: Peter Jackson, Chris Berry, John Nguyet Erni, and Helen Hok-Sze Leung The Queer Asia series opens a space for monographs and anthologies in all disciplines focusing on nonnormative sexuality and gender cultures, identities and practices across all regions of Asia. Queer Studies, Queer Theory, and Transgender Studies originated in, and remain dominated by, North American and European academic circles. Yet, the separation between sexual orientation and gender identity, while relevant in the West, does not neatly apply to all Asian contexts, which are themselves complex and diverse. Growing numbers of scholars inside and beyond Asia are producing exciting and challenging work that studies Asian histories and cultures of trans and queer phenomena. The Queer Asia series—first of its kind in publishing—provides a valuable opportunity for developing and sustaining these initiatives. Also in the series: 上海拉拉

Transnational Asian Masculinities series Series Editors: Derek Hird (University of Westminster) and Geng Song (University of Hong Kong) The first book series in the world on this topic, Transnational Asian Masculinities explores the representations and lived realities of Asian masculinities in their transnational dimensions. Books in this series use interdisciplinary perspectives to interrogate diverse textual, visual, and ethnographic materials. They illuminate the specificities of Asian masculinities in global contexts and question some of the assumptions of Euro-American theorizing on masculinities. By approaching Asianness through ethnicity, nationality, and location—encompassing men’s, women’s, queer, and trans masculinities—this series unpacks the tangled assemblages of local and transnational circulations of people, ideas, and objects that have shaped Asian masculinities in all eras.

Sheng Kung Hui: Historical Studies of Anglican Christianity in China series The Practical Prophet
Bishop Ronald O. Hall of Hong Kong and His Legacies ( 實事求是的先知：香港聖公會何明華會督的遺教 )
Moira M. W. Chan-Yeung As the longest serving and the most influential bishop of Hong Kong during one of the most tumultuous periods in China’s history, Bishop R. O. Hall played a crucial role in the reconstruction of the Anglican Church and Hong Kong after the Second World War. Born in England, the bishop committed his life to building bridges: between China and England; between Hong Kong workers and company management; between the government and the Hong Kong people; and, of course, between the Hong Kong people he loved and the Divine he worshipped. His single-mindedness in pursuing and translating the social theology of F. D. Maurice into practical terms resulted in his enormous contributions to the development of social welfare, lowcost housing, and education in postwar Hong Kong and helped spur its economic and social evolution into a global city. This book highlights the two major controversies during his episcopacy: the ordination of a woman priest during the war and his visit to China during the “Hundred Flowers Campaign.” Based on primary archival and private materials, this book shows that Bishop Hall, whole-hearted in pursuit of his goals for Hong Kong through “love-in-action,” was also multifaceted, with longings, questions, and inner contradictions we all share. Moira M. W. Chan-Yeung is professor emeritus of medicine at the University of British Columbia and honorary professor of medicine at the University of Hong Kong. This biography is her second nonmedical scholarly work after her retirement. “The impact of Bishop Ronald Hall’s ministry was more than his contemporaries could ever have realized or foreseen. He was not only a man of intense personal courage and integrity but someone who was able—as true prophets are—to make their own lives and actions a sign of how the world might be different. It is a great delight to have at last a worthy tribute to his stature.” —Rowan Williams, former Archbishop of Canterbury Spring 2016

LAND ADMINISTRATION and PRACTICE in HONG KONG
( 香港土地管理與實踐，第四版 )
Roger Nissim
“Few authors are better qualified than Roger Nissim to write on land administration and practice in Hong Kong. He worked in what was Britain’s crown colony (now China’s special administrative region) for a quarter of a century, initially as a senior figure in government, and more recently as a manager with a leading local property company. . . . The author is to be commended on his book’s coherent structure, clear style and succinct analysis. It is a must for anyone interested in the pivotal role of land as a vital resource in a dynamic economy.” —Review in the magazine of the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors
The purpose of this book is to explain both the historical development and the current practice of land administration. Although Hong Kong is an open and business-friendly environment, it has a socialist leasehold land tenure system. The government is landlord to virtually all land, so it plays a pivotal role in the administration of this scarce and therefore valuable resource.
Roger Nissim, FRICS, FHKIS, RPS, became chartered in 1968 and practised as a surveyor in England before coming to Hong Kong in 1973. For twenty years, he worked for the Hong Kong government before joining a leading local property developer. Since 2007, he has been an adjunct professor in the Department of Real Estate and Construction of the University of Hong Kong.

As land administration is governed by private contract law rather than legislation, it is constantly evolving with the courts handing down decisions on a regular basis. Government practice also has to respond to this, as well as to the community’s concerns on how best land can be administered. The fourth edition has some substantial and significant updates and changes which should continue to be useful to students and practitioners of surveying, architecture, planning, law, and the wider business and financial community.

NewNew in Paperback & Recent Hong Kong’s Link to the US Dollar Origins and Evolution ( 香港與美元的聯繫：起源與演變 )
John Greenwood Hong Kong’s Link to the US Dollar covers the origins of the city’s currency crisis in 1983, the initial resolution of the crisis by creation of a traditional currency board, the subsequent problems leading to the Asian financial crisis of 1997–98, and the later reforms. The epilogue traces Hong Kong’s monetary developments between 1990 and 2005. This valuable compendium of articles, originally written in the bimonthly journal Asian Monetary Monitor during the years 1981–89, includes the key article that formed the basis for the Hong Kong government’s decision in 1983 to peg the currency to the US$, as well as other important documents of historical record. The main contribution of the book is its detailed monetary analysis of Hong Kong’s unique financial system before and after the currency crisis of 1983. The book explains the collapse of the floating HK$ under the pressure of capital outflows during the Sino-British negotiations (1982–84) over the future of Hong Kong, the fascinating story of the introduction of the linked rate system pegging the Hong Kong dollar to the US dollar, and the subsequent gradual process of reform and refinement of the currency board mechanism (1988–2005). Each chapter is preceded by an introductory narrative that puts the analysis in its historical context and places the economic argumvent in perspective. Hong Kong’s Link to the US Dollar will enable readers to obtain a comprehensive picture of why the linked rate system was put in place, how it works, and why it has been strengthened over the years.

Drama March 2015 144 pp, 4.8" x 7.28" Bilingual in Chinese and English PB 978-988-16056-6-5 HK$120 | US$18
A trail-blazing political reformer and visionary thinker at the turn of the 20th century, Kang Youwei (1858–1927) envisioned a global utopia of human equality and solidarity. However, his advocacy of a constitutional monarchy, instead of a revolution, has caused him to become the bête noire of modern Chinese history. Datong: The Chinese Utopia focuses on this Guangdong native’s years of exile in Europe, Asia and America, as he and his daughter Kang Tongbi campaigned for a better future for their compatriots at home and abroad—which culminated in an anti-American boycott (1905–1906) to beat back the Chinese Exclusion act, and two meetings with a conciliatory Theodore Roosevelt. Writer/filmmaker Evans Chan, a descendant from Kang’s hometown, used his award-winning film Datong: The Great Society (2011) to develop the libretto for this chamber opera. 康有為，中國政治家、思想家、教育家，因政改失敗而流亡海 外 16 年，卻在印度完成一本重新啓動「禮運大同篇」，以設 想人類未來烏托邦的奇書──《大同書》。香港旅美導演陳耀 成於 2011 年所拍的紀錄戲劇片《大同：康有為在瑞典》，榮 獲國內《南方都市報》首屆年度華語電影大獎。他以這衝擊國 際影評及漢學界的電影為藍本，創作出戲劇性的新文本。 透過康有為橫跨四大洲的海外功業；他與女兒康同璧會見美國 總統羅斯福，有關民主和人權的對話；以至孫女羅儀鳳背負大 同夢的酸甜辛澀；釀成一齣從清末躍至現代，詠嘆百年中國悲 歡的歌劇。重新呈現中國歷史上這位具有精神高度與深度的哲 人，以及他一生所追求平等、共有、共享的理想世界。

The Crowd 烏合之眾
Yu Rongjun 喻榮軍 ; English translation by Gigi Chang 2015 香港藝術節新劇本選 Hong Kong Arts Festival New Play Selection 2015 Inspired by Gustave Le Bon’s prophetic 1894 study of crowd psychology The Crowd: A Study of Popular Mind and Henrik Ibsen’s An Enemy of the People, The Crowd is a searing play by China’s most produced living playwright Yu Rongjun. Set in Chongqing, Beijing, Shanghai and Hong Kong, from the Cultural Revolution to the present day, The Crowd pitches the forces of irrational mass frenzy against the powerless struggle of the individual—with tragic consequences. This daring play investigates one man’s struggle to seek justice at all costs; and culminates in a rendezvous on a fateful day in Hong Kong. Will revenge settle old scores or open up new wounds?

A patient escapes from an asylum to spend his life as the perfect mannequin in a department store display; when living alone is outlawed, a woman who resides quietly with her cat is assigned by bureaucrats to a role in an artificially created “family”; a luckless man transforms himself into a chair so people can, literally, sit on him. These are just a few of the inhabitants of Hon Lai-chu’s stories, where surreal charac-ters struggle to carve out space for freedom and individuality in an absurd world. The Chinese version of The Kite Family won the New Writer’s Novella first prize from Taiwan’s Unitas Literary Association, was named one of 2008’s Books of the Year by Taiwan’s China Times, was selected as one of the Top 10 Chinese Novels Worldwide, and was awarded a Translation Grant from the US National Endowment for the Arts.

本書通過展示敦煌壁畫與中國家具千年之變的關 本書乃這個全球性課題至今為止的第一部專著。蓋自上 世紀二三十年代起，鄂爾多斯地區發現了大量十字架造 型的青銅牌符，並且以低價流通於文物市場，從而引起 了西方來華傳教士及學者的注意。他們中的一些人認為 這些是元代景教遺物。從此，不少有心人士開始大量收 藏，一時成為收藏界和學術界熱門的話題。收藏者之
係，研究敦煌壁畫是如何生動地見證中國中古時
中，以英國人聶克遜 (F. A. Nixon) 與美國人布朗 (Mark Brown) 為翹楚；學術界方面，有多國著名學者均對 此有所探討，包括伯希和 (Paul Pelliot)、穆爾 (A. C. Moule)、明義士 (James M. Menzies)、佐伯好郎 (P. Y. Saeki) 等等。現今，香港大學美術博物館藏有聶克遜捐 贈的這一類文物舊藏近千枚，目前為世界第一。這批文 物的發現史、收藏史、著錄史和相關的學術研究歷史， 一向乏人問津；而且，從我們初步研究結果看，過去這 些方面的從事者，會受到自身的信仰傾向、學術背景的 影響，因此不同學者之間的分歧往往很大，未能做到互 補長短。本文擬從這些方面入手，探討西方漢學在特定 時間之獨特側面，並結合其他文獻、出土文物等相關資 料，企圖賦予新的詮釋。我們認為：這批文物未必全屬 景教遺存，亦未必全屬元代，蓋其所謂的「十字架」造 型，與學術界已認定的唐元景教十字架的圖像 ( 包括壁 畫、絹畫和石刻 ) 相差甚遠。而十字符號之文化內涵， 源遠流長，即以中國而言，亦可追溯至殷商乃至更早； 至於中亞，更毋庸待言。十字或類十字符號之功能，或 與上古巫術息息相關，是亦有待將來更深入的探討。

Researching Private Supplementary Tutoring Methodological Lessons from Diverse Cultures
Edited by Mark Bray, Ora Kwo, and Boris Jokić Private supplementary tutoring, widely known as shadow education because of the way that it mimics mainstream schooling, has greatly expanded worldwide. It consumes considerable family resources, provides employment for tutors, occupies the time of students, and has a backwash on regular schools.
Comparative Education October 2015 308 pp, 6.5" x 9" PB 978-988-14241-3-6 HK$250 | US$38
Although such tutoring has become a major industry and a daily activity for students, tutors and families, the research literature has been slow to catch up with the phenomenon. The topic is in some respects difficult to research, precisely because it is shadowy. Contours are indistinct, and the actors may hesitate to share their experiences and perspectives. Presenting methodological lessons from diverse cultures, the book contains chapters from both high-income and lowincome settings in Asia, Caribbean, Europe and the Middle East. Separately and together, the chapters present valuable insights into the design and conduct of research. The book will assist both consumers and producers of research. Consumers will become better judges of the strengths, weaknesses and orientations of literature on the theme; and producers will gain insights for design of instruments, collection of data, and interpretation of findings. Mark Bray is UNESCO Chair Professor in Comparative Education at the University of Hong Kong. Ora Kwo is an Associate Professor in the Comparative Education Research Centre at the University of Hong Kong.

This CERC monograph differs from others in the series in that it is not a research report but a commentary on a research institution: the Comparative Education Research Centre (CERC) at the University of Hong Kong (HKU). Historically, the value of the monograph lies in encapsulating the collective efforts of its founders and their successors. Sociologically, CERC as a unit for analysis provides an example of the institutionalisation of the field of comparative education. Viewed from a sociology-of-knowledge perspective, CERC exemplifies the dynamic interplay of international and domestic politics, episteme, personal biography, and the internal sociology of universities. Maria Manzon is a Research Scientist at the National Institute of Education, Singapore. She is also an Associate Member of the Comparative Education Research Centre at the University of Hong Kong. Her 2011 book entitled Comparative Education: The Construction of a Field has been acclaimed for its comprehensive approach and path-breaking conceptualisation. Spring 2016

Discover the inside story of UNESCO’s underappreciated role in preserving humanity’s finest values and its sometimes strained relationship with the US. This book provides a candid and engaging account of these events from the US perspective and how the US has reacted to more recent political and financial trials since its re-entry to UNESCO in 2003. This history is marked by the tugs of domestic and international politics; the powerful influences, for better and worse, of key personalities from Washington’s Foggy Bottom to Paris’ Place de Fontenoy; and the efforts of scientists, scholars, preservationists, and others to work with UNESCO for the global good. The story exemplifies the workings of international organizations. It concludes with appeals to the US government to improve its strategic planning and consultation, and to UNESCO to improve its governance and finances. Raymond E. Wanner has three decades of experience as a US State Department official responsible for UNESCO and later as a senior adviser on UNESCO to the United Nations Foundation.
