Rezensionen / Stimmen
For more than two decades Marjorie Topley was the intellectual and organizational mainstay of the Hong Kong Branch of the Royal Asiatic Society - as Council member from 1960, Vice-President (1966-72), and President (1972-1983). This splendid edition, incorporating all of her published work on Hong Kong, Singapore and beyond, will make available her pioneering, and still topical, anthropological research to a new generation of readers. -- James Hayes, author of The Great Difference: Hong Kong's New Territories and Its People, 1898-2004
