About this product
Product Information
The University of Hong Kong was one of only a handful of fully autonomous colonial universities in the British Empire in the first half of the twentieth century. From its founding in 1911, the institution was intended as a 'British lighthouse in the Orient, with a broad remit to educate a new generation of Chinese youth who would lead the tp the modernization of China. This book evaluates the success of that mission while also demonstrating the importance of the university to the development of Hong Kong and Malaya, the two areas supplying the most students to the university. As the first university established in Hong Kong, the early decades of its history represent the foundations of China's higher education system. This study provides fresh insight into the character of colonial education and the development of Hong Kong and tracks the fortunes of the colony from the peak of imperial British power to the catastrophic Japanese occupation of 1941 to 1945.

- a***x (264)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseAs usual, this seller is completely trustworthy: the book was as described, terrific value, arrived very swiftly from America, well packaged and safe. It was an old library book, but in great condition and appearance, and there can be no criticism, simply thanks and praise for a job well done.
- c***r (530)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseBook as specified (and in good condition), fast delivery (from USA to UK), and a reasonable price for the book. The book appears to have been procured and shipped via a third party. One point of constructive criticism: I feel it would be helpful to try to work with the associate book-selling businesses (third party shippers) that you work with, to ensure that higher-value books are shipped in better quality packaging, and in particular, cardboard packaging.
