- Summary:
- "This book reveals the dark side of colonial modernity through canine lives in twentieth-century British Hong Kong. The city's modernizing involved the refashioning of some dogs into symbols of Britishness and others into dangerous and dirty urban dwellers, consequentially creating problematic worldviews towards animals that have outlasted time"-- Provided by publisher.
