\ BooknewsDiverging from the consensus model of political socialization popular in the US during the 1960s and 1970s, delves into how political events, parents, and stereotyping alienated Hong Kong teenagers from the Chinese and Hong Kong governments during the 1980s. Based on data sets from interviews with teachers and students, a national survey, and questionnaires to sample schools. Shows how civic education was depoliticized and trivialized in secondary schools; and discusses the impact of the quality of school, grade level, and subject groups. Developed from a 1990 Ph. D. dissertation for the Australian National University. No index. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.\ \
