    JAPAN'S CHANGING GENERATIONS
    GORDON MATHEWS

Rather, it signifies something more fundamental: the emergence of a new Japan, which may be quite different from the Japan of postwar decades. It argues that while young people in Japan in their teens, twenties an...

    GORDON MATHEWS / ERIC MA / TAI-LOK LUI

Written by three academic specialists on Hong Kong cultural identity, social history...

    THE WORLD IN GUANGZHOU
    GORDON MATHEWS / LINESSA DAN LIN / YANG YANG

A large number of these migrants are small-scale traders from Africa who deal in Chinese goods—often knockoffs or copies of high-end branded items—to send back to th...

    GHETTO AT THE CENTER OF THE WORLD
    GORDON MATHEWS
    There is nowhere else in the world quite like Chungking Mansions, a dilapidated seventeen-story commercial and residential structure in the heart of Hong Kong’s tourist district. A remarkably motley group of people call the building home; Pakistani phone stall operators, Chinese guesthouse workers, Nepalese heroin addicts, Indonesian sex workers, and traders and asylum seekers ...
