1997 signaled a fundamental change in the social
structure of Chinese from Hong Kong, with disturbing
consequences for the Pacific Region. The Sino-British
Joint Declaration of 1984 set the
restoration of Hong Kong to the PRC at July 1,
1997. The impending "Handover" instigated a wave of
panic as Hong Kong citizens fled in an exodus. Its
repercussions still reverberate, affecting every
shore it touches. Transnationalism is a chosen way
of life for those existing in two worlds.
Fundamental changes affect the social structure of
Hong Kong Chinese with serious consequences. This
ethnography documents a unique moment in history on a
real and personal level: how a people's identity has
become, paradoxically, entrenched, while being
forever altered, an evolving identity formed by
transnationalism, globalization, ethnicity & new
structures of kinship ties. It is a study of the
dynamics of class economics in a global setting, with
major impact on future global economic, migration and
social trends. Research organizations dealing with
immigration, ethnicity & demographics will find data
that allows predictions for future trends that break
down barriers of prejudice and hostility.
