It’s My Party: Tat Ming Pair and the Postcolonial Politics of Popular Music in Hong Kong

Chow, Yiu Fai; de Kloet, Jeroen; Schmidt, Leonie

This book is unique in focusing on just one band from one city – but the story of Tat Ming Pair, in so many ways, is the story of Hong Kong's recent decades, from the Handover to the Umbrella Movement to 2019's standoff.  A comprehensive, theoretically informed study of the sonic history and present of Hong Kong through the prism of Tat Ming Pair, this book will be of interest to cultural studies scholars, scholars of Hong Kong, and those who study the arts in East Asia.

This is an open access book.
