On HOMInG seminar 33_19, anthropologist Gordon Mathews (Chinese University of Hong Kong) provided a rich and stimulating account of his fieldwork inside Hong Kong’s Chungking Mansions – ” a dilapidated seventeen-story commercial and residential structure in the heart of Hong Kong’s tourist district”, which “a remarkably motley group of people call […] home”. This is the background to his celebrated book Ghetto at the center of the world (University of Chicago Press, 2011).
