Nan Sussman (CLI 77) recently published: Return Migration and Identity: A Global Phenomenon, A Hong Kong Case published by Hong Kong University Press (2010). The book examines cultural identity shifts and population flows during a critical juncture in Hong Kong history between the Sino-British Joint Declaration in 1984 and the early years of Hong Kong’s new status as a special administrative region after 1997. Nearly a million residents migrated to North America, Europe and Australia in the 1990s.
The author captures in dozens of interviews the anxieties, anticipations, hardships and flexible world perspectives of migrants and their families as well as friends and co-workers.
