Excerpt from Historic Macao In the dawn of a promising new era for foreigners in China, Macao found, alas, that it ushered in her darkest days. And fallen from her pride of place. Spoliated, blighted, well might she in her desolation utter that awful plaint of Zion: All ye that pass by, listen and see if there be any woe like unto my woe.

Macau History and Society illuminates the early Portuguese maritime exploration along China's south coast, political and economic development in Macau, and current social problems. The book makes significant contributions to a political sociology of Macau, emphasizing how different civilizations and cultures interacted with one another, and explores how a new Macau identity can be constructed. Democratization has been a never-ending process in Macau since the 1500's. Macau's experience indicates that sovereignty has been shared rather than exclusive. Although civilizations and cultures do clash, they also cooperate. But the Macau model is deeply flawed - Hao contends that Macau needs to build a new multicultural identity, and a cosmopolitan political and economic identity.
