The Hong Kong Diaspora - Acculturation and Identity
Hundreds of thousands of Hong Kongers have been driven away from the city by its crumbling socio-political climate since 2020, which resulted in an ongoing exodus that has rapidly expanded the Hong Kong Diaspora. Cultural identity has always been a subject of interest in Hong Kong given its unique place in history between the East and the West. Its fluid nature prompts inquiries into the evolution and legacy of the Hong Konger identity within the diaspora in times of uncertainty and change. The intricate experience of migration and integration, along with the emergence of civil society organizations and support groups founded by these recent Hong Kong migrants, inspired this self-proposed research project which sheds light on individual encounters under the wider political struggle between states.
