Governance in the New Territories

Based on the author's in-depth investigation and study of a village in the New Territories for many years, the book uncovers the actual situation of the so-called "e;indirect governance"e; of British colonialism, analyzes how colonial power has influenced and transformed the living world of residents in the New Territories, and then explores how the colonial power and the patriarchal clan system conspired to achieve co-governance, but this kind of co-governance often resulted in a lot of internal conflicts due to land interests and financial rights.Women often fought under the colonial/patriarchal power structure.
