"This rich mosaic of critical essays opens many aspects of Singapore history to reasoned, evidence-based debate. Unilinear history is an inviting target, and the authors have made a worthy contribution to dethroning it." -- Prof. Philip A. Kuhn, Harvard University
• Offers a detailed examination of Singapore's history and her past and present politics.
• Traces the discourses of Singapore's history from the recognition of British acquisition in the 19th century as her found moment, to the 1980s and 1990s when an essentially Confucian heritage was emphasized, and finally to the concern of racial fragility and harmony in the 21st century.
• Is relevant not only to teachers and students of history but also for all to whom Singapore has become a fascinating enigma.
Hong Lysa, formerly with the History Department of the National University of Singapore, has been an independent scholar since 2000.
Huang Jianli is an associate professor in the History Department of the National University of Singapore.
