14: Legal Geography and the Chungking Mansions


Listen Later

We welcome Dr. Dhiraj Nainani who is an Adjunct Research Fellow at the Centre for Asian Legal Studies at the National University of Singapore. We talk about his dissertation entitled The Legal Geography of Chungking Mansions, Hong Kong’s ‘Last Ghetto’. Chungking Mansions is a ‘notorious’ building complex in the business district of Tsim Sha Tsui, Kowloon. It's notorious because of its historical association with criminality and its longstanding and continuous association with the city’s ethnic minority population, primarily South Asians and Africans.
