description To consider how civil-political discourse manifests under deeply divided circumstances owing to a legacy of power differentials, how histories of colonialism & resistance provide contour to the political-cultural repertoire of a recently democratized society is explored, using the cases of Hong Kong & Taiwan amid their first democratic elections. A review of the literature on civil society demonstrates the importance of this issue & the inadequacies in addressing this it. It is argued that a better understanding can be had by looking at how certain groups' cultural legacy, which has sprung forth amid oppression, changes in the civic moment & informs their new civil speech. Political cartoons are drawn on, & the theoretical basis for the discussion turns on W. E. B. DuBois's notions of double consciousness & veils in support of James Scott's (1985) description of "weapons of the weak"; Scott's thinking on the tavern is juxtaposed against Jurgen Habermas's idea of the cafe.
