【#香港研究】三年前籌備成立香港研究學院時，我跟呂大樂教授都想到，要推動香港研究，應有一套系列叢書，就香港研究主要領域，提供中英雙語讀本，中文版要普及到本地社會，英文版要面向國際社會。但談何容易呢？今時今日學術界講求工廠式生產，人人集中投稿期刊快靚正，難以說服學者寫書（仲要寫埋中文）；而要找到國際出版社就更難，而沒有國際出版社背書，又陷入更難找作者的惡性循環。
幸運地，三年後我們終於突破了這個困局：《香港研究讀本系列》的英文版，已確定由Palgrave Macmillan出版；中文版本也差不多敲定，將由一間本地大學出版社負責。首批讀本包括《香港歷史》、《香港流行文化》和《香港政治》，力爭在2018年底出版，緊接還有《香港社會》、《香港傳媒》、《香港公共財政》、《香港英語文學》等等。自己香港自己研究，請支持這套由香港人寫的香港讀本。
Three years ago when we prepared to set up the Academy of Hong Kong Studies, Prof. Lui Tai-lok and I thought about developing a bilingual book series dedicated to Hong Kong Studies hoping that the Chinese versions should target local community while the English versions should suit international community. However, in today's academia every scholar is under tremendous publication pressure and usually focuses on publishing journal articles. It is extremely difficult to convince scholars to write books (not to say writing a Chinese version as well), it is also equally difficult to get the support of international publishers.
Fortunately, three years later we have finally made the breakthrough: It is confirmed that the English versions of "Hong Kong Studies Reader Series" will be published by Palgrave Macmillan; while the Chinese versions are almost confirmed to be published by a local university press. The first batch of readers under this book series will include "Hong Kong History", "Hong Kong Popular Culture" and "Hong Kong Politics", to be followed by "Hong Kong Society", "Hong Kong Media", "Hong Kong Public Finance" and "Hong Kong Anglophone Literature", etc. This is a reader series to be written by Hongkongese, please support us.
