今次跟"香港館計劃"合作, 邀請了李靜君教授來臨"一頁舟", 講解她的新著作 "Forever Hong Kong". 當天還可以65折購買新書, 李靜君教授還會為你簽名留念。

演講簡介：

本書回顧1997以來香港人抗爭的歷史，認為2019反送中不單是一塲有關選舉和法律改革的運動，而是一個更深刻更廣泛的解殖抗爭中的一個重要時刻。作者一方面反省整個運動的得失，也同時嘗試解釋為什麼香港人的解殖主體性，不是在外族英國殖民時代而是在回歸中國國家統治下出現。

Talk abstract:

This book is a history of resistance by Hong Kong people since 1997. It shows that the 2019 popular uprising was not just a quest for electoral or legal reform, but part of a longer and broader struggle for decolonization. This talk reflects on the achievements and short comings of two decades of social protests, and explains why a popular decolonial subjecthood emerged not under alien British rule but under national Chinese rule.
