‘Indelible City: Dispossession and Defiance in Hong Kong’ with author Louisa Lim

FCC Correspondent Member Governor Austin Ramzy. moderate this conversation and discussion with author Luisa Lim. After protests erupted in 2019 and were met with escalating suppression from Beijing, long-time HongKonger and journalist Louisa Lim interviewed guerrilla calligraphers, amateur historians and archaeologists to put together a story of Hong Kong as told from the perspectives of its locals. Lim’s deeply researched and personal account in ‘Indelible City: Dispossession and Defiance in Hong Kong’, published in April by Penguin Random House imprint Riverhead books, casts startling new light on the city’s origins as a place of refuge and rebellion, and on its key moments: the British takeover in 1842, the negotiations over the 1997 return to China, and the future Beijing seeks to impose.
