Hong Kong is the most European city in Asia. It was not only built by British rule and the energy and entrepreneurship of Chinese but also by people from continental Europe, The citizens of Germany, France, Italy, Spain and Portugal and have made an enormous contribution to the city. They built churches, schools, hospitals, companies and institutions that still thrive today. Catholic orders from France and Italy saved the lives of tens of thousands of young Chinese girls who would otherwise have been allowed to die. A French bacteriologist found the cure to the bubonic plague that ravaged the city in 1894. A Hungarian Jesuit in Hong Kong was the world's top China watcher for three decades. Germans built trading companies that helped to make the city the top commercial port in East Asia.Mark O'Neill recounts the extraordinary story of these Europeans. He mixes history with personal accounts by priests, business people, an art specialist, an expert in fine food and wine, a trilingual singer and a legendary disc jockey. He profiles the institutes that enable Hong Kong people to learn French, German, Spanish and Italian and the international schools that use these languages. Today the city continues to provide Europeans with opportunities and an excitement they cannot find at home. Their love affair with Hong Kong is unabated.

One evening in his early teens as his family sat around the dining table, Mark O'Neill's father suddenly dropped his English accent and spoke for the first time in his original and long hidden Irish voice. It was the start of an Irish journey for Mark that has lasted a lifetime, taking him through Scotland, to Belfast as a reporter during the Troubles in the 1970s, and from 1978, to the Far East where he continued his search for the meaning of Irishness.In Hong Kong, China and Japan, Mark discovered deep Irish footprints - missionaries, doctors, judges, lawyers, authors and jockeys. Two Irish nuns cured Hong Kong of tuberculosis, an Irish bandmaster wrote the music for Japan's national anthem and a nun taught English and Gaelic to the future Empress Michiko of Japan. Mark followed the footsteps of his grandfather, a Presbyterian missionary who lived in a small town in northeast China for 45 years. He was delighted to find still standing the church his grandfather had built, with a minister and her congregation happy to welcome him.Since 1800, no country in Europe has lost as many of its citizens to emigration as Ireland. From the 19th century, the Irish started to come to Asia, and now the Chinese are going to Ireland - including Hazel Chu, elected Lord Mayor of Dublin in 2020, as well as one of Ireland's most famous celebrity chefs and any number of IT wizards. This is a remarkable account of the Irish diaspora, touchingly personal, full of humour, anecdotes and insights.

Migration presents critical essays, lexicons and conversations about an online Editorial published by Arts Cabinet at the start of the pandemic, which brought together leading artists, researchers, practitioners, theorists from around the world to present their research, experimentations and work in connection with the topic of Migration. A rich document of 60 contributions presenting an original perspective on the question of Migration is the object of reflection of this publication. The publication was conceived as an extension of the Editorial and has been designed to embody fluidity and continuity, rather than mark a conclusion.

It is a little known fact that during World War I Russia received the majority of Chinese wartime laborers working overseas. Despite assurances that they would not be involved in the war, thousands of Chinese workers dug trenches and carried ammunition for troops on the Eastern Front under brutal conditions. Then, in 1917, life for the Chinese worsened with the Bolshevik Revolution's arrival. Some of the workers signed up to fight for the Red Army and many were left stranded in Russia, unemployed and destitute. Their plight has been described as the most tragic episode in 400 years of Chinese emigration. The men had crossed the border into Russia with dreams of earning enough money to build a house or business for their family at home. None could have imagined the hell that awaited them.
