Over the last seven centuries, the island has undergone several changes of identity. In this entertaining and wide-ranging account, drawn from research undertaken in collaboration with the National Museum of Singapore, Mark R. Frost and Yu-Mei Balasingamchow present Singapore's mercurial life-story as experienced by the people who participated in it. Singapore: A Biography brings together a Ming-dynasty travelogue, 19th-century memoirs and correspondence, modern oral histories and even radio and television broadcasts to reconnect a modern audience with the Singapore story.While famous names from Singapore's past take their place, this new story also introduces a cast of lesser known, though no less compelling, historical personalities - from dissenting poets and radical ideologues, to patriotic factory workers and early feminists. The portrait of Singapore that emerges is dashing, lively and multi-layered, and it offers fresh insight into the ruptures and continuities that have made Singaporeans and their nation what they are today.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAuthor: Mark Ravinder Frost\u003cbr\u003eFormat: Hardback\u003cbr\u003eEdition: s Didier Millet Pte Ltd\u003cbr\u003eNumber of Pages: 458\u003cbr\u003ePublisher: Editions Didier Millet Pte Ltd\u003cbr\u003ePublication Date: 26 Apr 2010\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Thryft Singapore","offers":[{"title":"Like New","offer_id":32656982540369,"sku":"DS610.3","price":21.81,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Very Good","offer_id":32656982573137,"sku":"DS610.3","price":17.45,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Good","offer_id":39424076283985,"sku":"DS610.3","price":15.71,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Well Read","offer_id":32656982605905,"sku":"DS610.3","price":13.96,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0110\/0598\/4849\/products\/9789814217620.jpg?v=1717803558","url":"https:\/\/thryft.asia\/products\/singapore-a-biography","provider":"Thryft","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
