Abstract

Abstract:Between the 1970s and 1990s, more than 230,000 Vietnamese asylum seekers arrived in Hong Kong and were detained in former military barracks, industrial buildings, and on remote islands. Although many of the refugee camps were in dense urban areas, the Vietnamese were segregated from Hong Kong's dazzling city life, and their presence was not known to many Hong Kong people. There is no plaque, sign, or demarcation of these structures. This paper retrieves the history of the Vietnamese refugee camps and considers them as an integral part of Hong Kong's urbanscape. In this effort, this research focuses on two case studies: Jubilee Camp in Sham Shui Po and San Yick Camp in Tuen Mun. We argue that the Crown land rule—the government as the owner of almost all land in Hong Kong—defined the Vietnamese refugee camps and their legacy in Hong Kong.

流动的土地:越南难民营与香港

摘要:20世纪70年代至90年代，超过23万名越南寻求庇护者抵达香港，被拘留在前军营、工业建筑和偏远岛屿上。虽然许多难民营位于人口密集的城市地区，但越南人与香港令人眼花缭乱的城市生活隔离开来，许多香港人并不知道他们的存在。这些结构没有斑块、标志或边界。本文回顾了越南难民营的历史，并将其视为香港城市景观不可分割的一部分。为此，本研究以深水埗银禧营及屯门新益营两个个案为研究对象。我们认为，皇家土地规则——作为香港几乎所有土地的所有者的政府——定义了越南难民营及其在香港的遗产。
