By employing a wide range of primary materials that have been rarely used before, the authors have demonstrated the multi-dimensionality and complexity of the Chinese society in postwar Singapore, which was full of vitality and politically active. 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. This study is essential reading for an understanding of not only the Chinese politics and business networks in postwar Singapore, but also the historical evolution of the newly independent Republic.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Hong Liu, Wong Sin Kiong\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0820467995\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780820467993\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Peter Lang Inc., International Academic Publi\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/03\/2004\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 299\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Hong Liu","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44056459772159,"sku":"9780820467993","price":119.8,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_dd1a9630-1d55-4884-bcff-51884a5cd4df.jpg?v=1685041430","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/singapore-chinese-society-in-transition-hong-liu-9780820467993","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
