Singapore : Negotiating State and Society, 1965-2015

Omtale

This book critically reflects on 50 years of Singapore's independence. Contributors interrogate a selected range of topics on Singapore's history, culture and society - including the constitution, education, religion and race - and thereby facilitate a better understanding of Singapore's shared national past. Central to this book is an examination of how Singaporeans have learnt to adapt and change in the face of policies introduced by the PAP government since independence in 1965. A valuable assessment to students and researchers alike, Singapore is of interest to specialists in Southeast Asian history and politics.
