Hong Kong:Soc Transtn International Library of Sociology 55

This is Volume IV in a series of six on the Sociology of East Asia. Originally published in 1969, the aim was to fill the lack of sociological studies of Hong Kong at the time. The International Library of Sociology (ILS) is the most important series of books on sociology ever published. Founded in the 1940s by Karl Mannheim, the series became the forum for pioneering research and theory, marked by comparative approaches and analysis of new disciplines, such as the sociology of youth and culture. Spanning volumes by Parsons, Dickinson and Ossowski, the history of the ILS is the history of modern sociology. Young people are educable. Young people are worth educating. Upon their wise handling depend the issues of ultimate harmonyor conflict in the home, in workshop or factory, and among thenations. Many current methods of treatment find, however, theirjustification only in the somewhat mythical descriptions of pastcenturies. For most of these there is little support in the morecareful studies of recent years Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive.
