The University of Macau (UM) has published the Chronicle of Macao (1999-2024), compiled by the university’s Centre for Macau Studies (CMS), which offers a comprehensive review of major events in the city over the 25 years since its return to the motherland.
Furthermore, the chronicle documents the SAR’s developments across various sectors and provides reliable historical materials for research, according to UM.
According to academic, former legislator and CMS Director Agnes Lam Iok Fong, associate professor in UM’s Department of Communication and editor-in-chief of the Chronicle of Macao (1999-2024), this latest edition builds on the structure of the previous one and adds new content covering the years 2020 to 2024, spanning the political, economic, social, cultural, and other fields, as well as presenting Macau’s development across different stages.
She notes that the publication not only provides a systematic overview of Macau over the past 25 years but also serves as an important reference for studying social change in the SAR, offering significant academic and historical value.
The Chronicle of Macao (1999-2024) features over 5,000 entries, drawing on news reports and documentary sources from the central government and its news agencies in Macau, the Macau SAR government, Hong Kong and Macau media, universities, and other academic and research institutions.
Using a narrative approach, the book aims to present the background of events and related data in an objective, fair, and accurate manner.
The book can be purchased at Plaza Cultural Macau’s main store and its branch at UM, with a special 20-per cent discount until 31 December, in celebration of Macau SAR’s 26th anniversary. More details on the chronicle can be found via this link. – GNM
