Decolonizing the History Curriculum in Malaysia and Singapore is a
unique study in the history of education because it examines
decolonization in terms of how it changed the subject of history in
the school curriculum of two colonized countries - Malaysia and
Singapore. Blackburn and Wu's book analyzes the transition of the
subject of history from colonial education to postcolonial
education, from the history syllabus upholding the colonial order
to the period after independence when the history syllabus became a
tool for nation-building. Malaysia and Singapore are excellent case
studies of this process because they once shared a common imperial
curriculum in the English language schools that was gradually
'decolonized' to form the basis of the early history syllabuses of
the new nation-states (they were briefly one nation-state in the
early to mid-1960s). The colonial English language history syllabus
was 'decolonized' into a national curriculum that was translated
for the Chinese, Malay, and Tamil schools of Malaysia and
Singapore. By analyzing the causes and consequences of the dramatic
changes made to the teaching of history in the schools of Malaya
and Singapore as Britain ended her empire in Southeast Asia,
Blackburn and Wu offer fascinating insights into educational
reform, the effects of decolonization on curricula, and the history
of Malaysian and Singaporean education.
