There is nowhere else in the world quite like Chungking Mansions, a dilapidated seventeen-story commercial and residential structure in the heart of Hong Kong’s tourist district. A remarkably motley group of people call the building home; Pakistani phone stall operators, Chinese guesthouse workers, Nepalese heroin addicts, Indonesian sex workers, and traders and asylum seekers from all over Asia and Africa live and work there—even backpacking tourists rent rooms. In short, it is possibly the most globalized spot on the planet.

But as Ghetto at the Center of the World shows us, a trip to Chungking Mansions reveals a far less glamorous side of globalization. A world away from the gleaming headquarters of multinational corporations, Chungking Mansions is emblematic of the way globalization actually works for most of the world’s people. Gordon Mathews’s intimate portrayal of the building’s polyethnic residents lays bare their intricate connections to the international circulation of goods, money, and ideas. We come to understand the day-to-day realities of globalization through the stories of entrepreneurs from Africa carting cell phones in their luggage to sell back home and temporary workers from South Asia struggling to earn money to bring to their families. And we see that this so-called ghetto—which inspires fear in many of Hong Kong’s other residents, despite its low crime rate—is not a place of darkness and desperation but a beacon of hope.

Gordon Mathews’s compendium of riveting stories enthralls and instructs in equal measure, making Ghetto at the Center of the World not just a fascinating tour of a singular place but also a peek into the future of life on our shrinking planet.

关于重庆大厦，麦老头（作者）说：现在的重庆大厦已经不再是曾经那个危险，毒品，强奸，非法移民，假货，嫖娼等社会阴暗面的缩影，5年前开始它就已经随着时代改变了面貌。至于变成什么样子，我还是建议你自己进去逛一逛。另外，二楼穆斯林餐厅里的【埃及pizza】最好吃！一年来...

知道这本《Ghetto at the Center of the World: Chungking Mansions, Hong Kong》还是在好几个月之前。当时刚刚决定要跨专业申请人类学的硕士，在网路上遇见了一位国内硕士在读（非人类学专业）的姐姐。她说自己也对CUHK的ANT感兴趣，给我推荐了一些书，特别提到Gordon Mathews...

矗立在尖沙咀的重庆大厦，曾被美国《时代》杂志选为“全球化最佳例子”，其收容的住客来自百多个不同的国家。人类学教授Gordon Mathews因为到重庆大厦做义工，阴差阳错地研究起了这座大厦和这座大厦里的人。据他自己所言，白人身份可能还便利了他的研究，因为华人很可能第一时...

總的來說，感覺像一篇巨型的專欄文章，理論意涵弱得很，不知道問什麼中英文版的評分都那麼高。全書分“地人物法”四個部分，很malinowskian，雖然錶麵上恰恰在強調重慶大廈的全球／多點聯係。另一方麵，文筆很好，對neoliberalism的溫和同情也算是對幾乎已經演變成hegemonic discourse的左翼敘事的反抗。

香港土生土長的南亞人也會遭到相當的歧視，他們在重慶大廈賺錢，盤算著某一天移民英美加。遠逝的天堂Kottak提到“外來者對外界的人和事總是錶現齣最強烈的厭惡”（沒列齣文獻齣處）。你說這會不會是因為大部分人其實都是近幾十年大陸的移民，上海人，福建人。。。這是香港的問題呢，還是整個華人世界都這樣？
