A NEW YORK TIMES NOTABLE BOOK OF THE YEAR
An award-winning journalist & longtime Hong Konger indelibly captures the place, its people, & the untold history they are claiming, just as it is being erased.The story of Hong Kong has long been dominated by competing myths: to Britain, a “barren rock” with no appreciable history; to China, a part of Chinese soil from time immemorial, at last returned to the ancestral fold. For decades, Hong Kong’s history was simply not taught, especially to Hong Kongers, obscuring its origins as a place of refuge & rebellion.
When protests erupted in 2019 & were met with escalating suppression from Beijing, Louisa Lim—raised in Hong Kong as a half-Chinese, half-English child, & now a reporter who has covered the region for nearly two decades—realized that she was uniquely positioned to unearth the city’s untold stories. Lim’s deeply researched & personal account casts startling new light on key moments: the British takeover in 1842, the negotiations over the 1997 return to China, & the future Beijing seeks to impose.
Indelible City features guerrilla calligraphers, amateur historians & archaeologists, & others who, like Lim, aim to put Hong Kongers at the center of their own story. Wending through it all is the King of Kowloon, whose iconic street art both embodied & inspired the identity of Hong Kong—a site of disappearance & reappearance, power & powerlessness, loss & reclamation.
