Review

“Knowles and Harper have brought the postcolonial down to earth in this poignant portrait of the intersections between migrants of diverse origins and circumstances residing in Hong Kong. Their study reminds us that the most privileged migrants are not necessarily the most ‘skilled’ at connecting with difference. This is a major and highly innovative contribution to our understanding of contemporary forms of migration.”—Vered Amit, Concordia University

“This is a terrific book by a pair of creative, smart, and thoughtful scholars who have a lot to say and a lot to show and tell. Through superb fieldwork, effective use of complementary data, clear prose, and evocative photographs, Knowles and Harper have created an extraordinarily rich account of how and where immigrant experiences intersect with Hong Kong social structure.”—Jon Wagner, University of California, Davis
