In lieu of an abstract, here is a brief excerpt of the content:

We would like to thank the contributors to the volume who responded to our invitations to submit papers with such generosity and promptness, and whose collegiality we have come to rely on in the months that it took us to put this volume together. Special thanks are due to Rey Chow for her encouragement and agreeing to write a Foreword, and to Pheng Cheah and Robert Young for their gracious endorsement. This is very much a joint project, not just for the two of us, but we hope for all whom we have had the good fortune to work with. They include Gaye Gould for her superb editorial work, Eddie Tay for his admirably concise and scholarly reviews, Charlotte Yeung Sin for her diligent investigation in the Hong Kong archives, and Colin Day of HKU Press for his guidance and goodwill. The Small Projects Grant Committee, HKU, has provided funds for the editing and preparation for publication of this volume, and the staff of the School of English their support as always; to both, we are grateful.
