Description

Rather than presenting another narrative of Singapore history, this book studies the constructed nature of the history endorsed by the state, examining the power vested in various aspects of Singapore’s history through a consideration of past and present politics. The authors trace state discourses on Singapore history from different periods, shedding light on the underlying template of Singapore history, the negotiation with its immigrant past, and the popularization of history through the conscription of national heroes. Sorry! Book description for this title is not available.
