So far in my limited reading, I’ve come across a number of works that are or include historical information about Eurasians in Macau and Hong Kong.
It would be good to grow this into a critical bibliography of the topic.
The books include Jean Gittins’ (daughter of Sir Robert Ho Tung) Stanley: Behind Barbed Wire which I believe has an introductory chapter about Eurasians in HK – and which I’m waiting to receive in the mail.
The Gwulo site forum posts mention Peter Hall’s “In the Web”. [This is now available online – see below]
As well the site gives access to a search of index cards of the research of Carl Smith or CT Smith.
According to the footnotes in the Wikipedia article on Eurasian communities, his work was published in Chung Chi Bulletin, 27. The Wikipedia piece includes references discussing the history of Eurasian communities in HK and Macau, as well as other parts of the world.

A post titled “East Meets West: Where Do Eurasians Come From?” on the Hong Kong History Net lists a number of books and a thesis on Eurasians under British colonialism including two well-known fictional works.
The Hong Kong History Net site also has an interesting article about “Debating Race, Class and Gender in Empire” which also includes an extensive list of references.
