Power and Politics at the Colonial Seaside [#456163]

Shuk-Wah Poon, "Power and Politics at the Colonial Seaside "
English | ISBN: 0367648075 | 2022 | 148 pages | PDF | 6 MB
A study of the complex role of the seaside as a leisure space in colonial Hong Kong.
British sports were in many respects more meaningful in the empire than literature, music, art, or religion. They served as an instrument of cultural association and later of cultural change, promoting imperial union and then postimperial goodwill. Poon analyses the ways in which British colonists and Chinese leaders, backed by the rhetoric of public health and nationalism, respectively, transformed the Hong Kong seaside into a leisure space. She argues that the growing popularity of seaside resorts and sea bathing as a preferred form of leisure activity across the social and ethnic spectrums served an important role in shaping the racial relationship between Westerners and the Chinese population, as well as the Chinese people's perception of the female body and the seaside, during the colonial period. The popularity of British leisure forms in colonial Hong Kong does not necessarily mean the triumph of "Britishness."
