Recommendation: This book could be a good read for someone interested in exploring the unique Singaporean experience from a multidisciplinary perspective. The collection of essays covers a wide range of topics, offering insights into various aspects of Singaporean society. What makes this book stand out is its focus on mental constructions and their role in shaping reality. Readers will gain a deeper understanding of how Singaporean society has been shaped over time and how it continues to evolve.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

This book explores the unique Singapore experience: its internal landscape, how the landscape came about, was conceived of and conceptualised, and how the imagination played and continues to play an important role in such conceptions. The collected essays, written by a multidisciplinary group of writers -- historians, economists, geographers, political scientists, psychologists, philosophers, and literary specialists -- cover a wide range of topics relating to Singapore society, including historiography, to resource and recreational planning, bilingualism and population management, religion and politics, and gender. A common thread tying together these essays is the mental construction of reality from which thinking proceeds. This new edition features two new essays ('Imagining Freedom' and 'Imagining the Singapore Economy in the Next Lap'), revisions and updates of the original essays and a new preface. READERSHIP: University lecturers, researchers, academics, practitioners, governmental administrators and those interested in sociology.
