The New Territories of British Hong Kong were at the forefront of the Cold War in the 1950s. A case study of the modern town development of Luen Wo Market from 1947 to 1979\u2014which involves the British colonials in Hong Kong, Indigenous Inhabitants in the New Territories, immigrants from Mainland China, and foreign Christians from abroad\u2014provides a nuanced understanding of the spatial complexity of the Cold War frontier with high liminality and porosity in British Hong Kong. With a detailed discussion of the architectures and activities on the ground, I argue that the townscape of the Cold War frontier in Luen Wo Market was characterized by a sense of impermanence, and the cultural hybridity under collaborative colonialism and covert anticommunism.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
