A Grounds-Eye View of Hong Kong's Frighteningly Fast Slide Towards Authoritarianism

Hana Meihan Davis comes from a long line of democracy activists in Hong Kong. Today, they are all either in exile, facing arrest, or somewhere in between.

Hana Meihan Davis is the author of the new book For The Love of Hong Kong: A Memoir From My City Under Siege, which tells the story of Hana's family and friends who have been on the frontline of an epic struggle to defend democracy, freedom of speech and human rights in the face of increasing repression by Chinese government authorities.

This is the first book under the new Global Dispatches publishing imprint.

In this episode, Hana Meihan Davis discusses the history of Hong Kong and the city's rapid democratic decline.
