AWW22 City on Fire: The Fight for Hong Kong - Antony Dapiran

Chaired by Benjamin Law.


In his detailed account of Hong Kong’s pro-democracy movement,
City on Fire: The Fight for Hong Kong, long-term Hong Kong
resident, journalist and lawyer Antony Dapiran reports on the
2019 anti-government protests from the inside. “It is a battle
for Hong Kong’s very soul,” he writes. Providing important
context dating back to the British Handover in 1997, Antony
contemplates both the big and small events that led to the
tipping point of 2019, and invites the question, what will happen
next?
