Land was always at the center of life in Hong Kong's rural New Territories: it sustained livelihoods and lineages and, for some, was a route to power. During imperial times villagers managed their lan

This book is a history of village communities in the New Territories of Hong Kong, including those in the areas of Ha Tsuen, Hung Shui Kiu, and Sha Tin as well as those on the islands of Lamma, Ma Wan

Most histories of Hong Kong begin with the arrival of the British, and only incidentally mention the precolonial eras. In this book, Patrick Hase, one of the leaders in the field, provides an important addition to the history of Hong Kong and the Pearl River Delta region, covering topics such as Chinese ethnicity, commerce, port-towns, and squatting. It is a truly excellent work that will interest historians, anthropologists, and social scientists.—James L. WatsonFairbank Professor of Chinese Society and Anthropology Emeritus,Harvard UniversityThis book, an historical and archaeological portrayal of Hong Kong market villages across the territory, depicts how Hong Kong evolved not through chronicles of emperors and governors but through the ups and downs of different centres of rural life over the centuries. It belongs beyond the bookshelves of historians and archaeologists—anyone wandering the streets of Hong Kong neighbourhoods today wondering “how did this place get to be here

In 1899, a year after the Convention of Peking leased the New Territories to Britain, the British moved to establish control. This triggered resistance by some of the population of the New Territories

This book is an attempt to clarify the history of San On County — the broader Hong Kong area — centring on the troubled years of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. It is based on an in-depth study of the San On County Gazetteer, which allows for a detailed discussion of the role, attitudes, and personalities of the San On magistrates, who were the heads of the county administration during this period. Particular focus is given to Zhou Xiyao (magistrate 1640–1644) and Li Kecheng (magistrate 1670–1675). The study finds that they, and at least some of the other magistrates of this period, were genuinely concerned about the county and its people, and tried as best they could to provide good and effective government for them.

“Without a clear idea of the history of the New Territories, the history of Hong Kong as a whole would be impossible to bring to any sort of satisfactory completion. ... Elucidating the development of a village, a clan, a temple, or a market-town is also, in and of itself, real and valuable history, and abundantly justifies the time and effort spent on it.” This book is a history of village communities in the New Territories of Hong Kong, including those in the areas of Ha Tsuen, Hung Shui Kiu, and Sha Tin as well as those on the islands of Lamma, Ma Wan, and Tung Ping Chau. Elaborating on primary interviews with village elders, government documents, and public information, this book places the individual histories of each area into the context of Hong Kong’s rich past. The introduction sets up the rest of the book, outlining common themes and highlighting the dangers of using the communal memories of village communities while, at the same time, showing the valuable information doing

英國殖民管治香港時期最血腥的一頁 在官方和大眾記憶中卻完全湮沒無痕 1899年，即中英簽署《展拓香港界址專條》、把新界租借給英國後一年，英國人進入新界接管此地。此舉觸發新界鄉民反抗，繼而爆發一場六日戰爭，華人在這場戰事中死傷枕藉，稱得上是一場大屠殺。新界史研究專家夏思義博士，首次詳細研究這場已完全為人遺忘的戰爭，並以生動方式述說這段故事。 本書主要內容是以逐日記述的方式，訴說戰鬥經過，並揭示當時香港總督卜力和輔政司駱克對於這場仗的打法意見相左。作者運用他對於新界歷史的深湛知識，詳細描述參與戰事的鄉民領袖和普通群眾。此書對於在這場戰爭陣亡的人數提出了新估計，不是一般史書記述的「人命傷亡不大」，而是有近五百名鄉民被殺，作者同時探討英方資料大都低估死傷數字的原因。 此書不但適合研究香港和中國的歷史學家細讀，研究大英帝國和英國軍隊的歷史學家，以及喜歡軍事史、帝國史和香港史的一般讀者，讀起來也會感到興味盎然。
