"This book examines the most recent outmigration waves from Hong Kong, a city experiencing drastic social changes since 2019, the year when it witnessed a series of social protests. Structured in three parts, i.e., HK-UK in continuum and the new Hong Kong diaspora in the UK; The new Hong Kong diaspora beyond Europe; and Transforming population geographies in Hong Kong, the chapters in this book analyse the post-2019 migration that occurred in the midst of the city's fast changing socio-political condition. The contributors focus on migrants' experiences of migration and settlement, and their integration efforts in the destination countries. The book also explores the home-building processes and identity changes among Hong Kong immigrants, how migration policies are embedded in complex national and regional politics, and how this new wave of migration has impacted Hong Kong. It suggests that new Hong Kong migrant communities have resulted in the formation of distinctive Hong Kong diasporas and a "Global Hong Kong". It shows how migration evolves in this age of globalisation and hypermobility, alongside global geopolitics and the changing social and political environment in Asia. A valuable contribution to the understanding of Hong Kong migration in particular and Asian migration in general, this book will be of interest to overseas Chinese studies, diaspora and migration studies and Asian studies"--
