Rebel City: Hong Kong's Year of Water and Fire by Jeffie Lam, South China Morning Post Team
4.0
Very good work by the authors in presenting a voluminous work containing numerous interviews, reviews and commentary. It makes for surprisingly easy read.
The protest movement was a difficult period for HK with the media continuously devoting loads of time on the subject. This book recounts much of what transpired and also adds interviews and commentary. This book is neither a "blue" nor "yellow" colour, but one that attempts to take a holistic view of the subject.
I was at first apprehensive of reading seeing that SCMP published the piece, however, I am glad I did as it brings some fresh material into view.
With the advent of the securities law about to be enacted, this may not be the end of the movement but perhaps the end of an era. This book, I believe helps understand some of the reasons for the unrest and concerns of the people of HK.
