Description
Summary:Caught between its Chinese and British colonial history, Hong Kong's path to self-actualization is unsure without preserving its tangible and intangible heritage. This paper examines the region's several layers of heritage through the movement to preserve the Star and the Queen piers in 2007, using two theoretical frameworks, Abbas' culture of disappearance and Tunbridge's dissonant heritage. Despite the piers' demolition, their role is vital in understanding conflicting histories and decolonizing the region's identity.
