appendix 2: short guide to further reading
1
There are three collections of essays which provide valuable accounts of various aspects of modern Hong Kong: I. C. Jarvie with Joseph Agassi, eds., Hong Kong: A Society in Transition (Routledge and Kegan Paul, 1969); Keith Hopkins, ed., Hong Kong: The Indus- trial Colony: A Political, Social and Economic Survey (Oxford University Press, 1971); Association for Radical East Asian Studies, Hong Kong: Britain's Last Colonial Stronghold (Association for Radical East Asian Studies, 1972). Up-to-date but highly selective information can be found in the official volume issued annually by the Hong Kong Government. The current volume is Hong Kong 1975: Report for the Year 1974. A succinct critique of the present situation from a left-wing view- point is Hong Kong: A Case to Answer (Spokesman Books, 1974). Joe England and John Rear, Chinese Labour Under British Rule: A Critical Study of Labour Relations and Law in Hong Kong (Ox- ford University Press, 1975) although primarily concerned with labour issues, includes material on the economic and political framework. Information about the British commercial elite can be found in Dick Wilson, Hong Kong's British Empires,' Management Today, Nov. 1967; Allan T. Demaree, 'The Old China Hands Who Know How to Live with the New Asia,' Fortune, Nov. 1971; Ivan Fallon, The British Hongs push harder in the scramble for Eastern Wealth,' The Director, May 1974.
