520 |a Deploying a spatial approach towards children⁰́₉s everyday life in interwar Hong Kong, this book considers the context-specific development of five transnational movements: the garden city movement; imperial hygiene movement; nationalist sentiments; the Young Women's Christian Association; and the Girl Guide. Locating these transnational cultural movements in four layers of context, from the most immediate to the most global, including the context of Hong Kong, Republican China, the British empire, and global influences, this book shows Hong Kong as a distinctive colonial domain where the imperatives around race, gender and class produced new products of empire where the child, the garden, the school and sport turned out to be the main dynamics in play in the interwar period. Stella Meng Wang is a recent PhD graduate of the Sydney School of Education and Social Work at the University of Sydney, Australia. Her research interests include history of gender and education, women⁰́₉s history, urban history, and history of architecture. .
