Consumption forms an essential part of Hong Kong people's lives today, but until now little serious attention has been paid to it. This book fills this gap, in a fascinating way. The contributors to this volume explore such topics as:
- the coming of shopping malls to Hong Kong
- tenants' senses of home in cramped public housing
- the experiences of movie-going
- alcohol as a marker ofsocial class
- the pursuit of fashion
- Chinese art and identity among Hong Kong collectors
- the dream and reality of owning a flat
- Lan Kwai Fong and its mystique
- the McDonald's Snoopy craze of fall 1998
- cultural identity and consumption in Hong Kong today
This book shows how the detailed ehtnographic study of consumption in Hong Kong can lead to a deeper understanding of Hong Kong life as a whole, as well as of consumption in the world at large.
