Political Censorship in British Hong Kong : Freedom of Expression and the Law (1842-1997)

Challenging celebratory histories of the British legal regime in Hong Kong, this book uses archival sources to revisit political censorship. It shows that censorship was pervasive for much of the colonial period and offers a new perspective on how Hong Kong became a city that championed free speech by the late 1990s.
