First published in 1998, this volume explores Singapore as an ideal
case study for the examination of the management of
postcoloniality, social diversity and the pursuit of economic
growth with ethnic harmony. Singapore has, since independence,
evolved a unique mix of state directed capitalism, revamped
Confucianism and a social order based on an ideology of
multiracialism. The result has been a State with enormous
sociological diversity held together by the need to create a
unified political order out of a population of immigrants of very
diverse origins. This has placed the management of multiethnicity
at the heart of political discourse and social policy. This book
examines critically the operation of ethnicity in post-independence
Singapore, the social policies that have been evolved to manage it,
and the implications of the Singapore experiment for other plural
societies in Asia and elsewhere.
