Liu, Hong/Sin-Kiong Wang
Singapore Chinese Society in Transition

Business, Politics, and Socio-Economic Change, 1945-1965.

This comprehensive study analyzes the dynamics, processes, mechanisms, and consequences of socio-economic and political changes in Singapore Chinese society from 1945 to 1965. By employing a wide range of primary materials, the authors demonstrate the multi-dimensionality and complexity of the Chinese society in postwar Singapore. They argue that the combination of the internal dynamism and the changing socio-political framework shaped the nature and characteristics of the Chinese community and its fundamental role in the making of modern Singapore.
