Lam (U. of Macau) counters the idea that the people of Hong Kong are politically passive, revisiting 13 historical cases between 1949 and 1979. She argues that, while the island has been characterized by an imposed depoliticization, an alternative definition of politics that considers unlawful demands made on government and support for government (as much as lawful demands on government) shows that political participation in the period examined is as high as in the 1980s, the period usually considered the most politically active. She examines the different political organizations and media that existed in the period and describes their varied ideological positions and discourses.
