Description
Discover the compelling narrative of 'Among the Braves,' a poignant exploration of Hong Kong's tumultuous journey towards democracy. This insightful book, published by Little Brown in 2024 (ISBN: 9780306830365), delves deep into the historical context of Hong Kong's governance experiment post-1997, bridging the gap between two contrasting political systems: communism and capitalism. As you dive into the text, you'll understand how the 'one country, two systems' principle was intended to maintain freedoms, but eventually sidelined the voice of the very people it affected.
In an era marked by a vibrant protest movement, sparked by the controversial legislation of 2019, 'Among the Braves' sheds light on brave individuals—a reverend, a radicalized student, and a dedicated journalist—who stood up against oppression. Facing a regime's draconian measures, these brave souls exemplify courage and resilience amid adversity. The book chronicles their struggles, dreams, and the fight for identity and freedom within a city caught in a complex geopolitical struggle.
