Far from being a melting pot, multi-racial Singapore prides itself
on the richness of its ethnic communities and cultures. This volume
provides an updated account of the heterogeneity within each of the
main communities - the Chinese, Malay, Indian, Eurasian and Others.
It also documents the ethnic cultures of these communities by
discussing their histories, celebrations, cultural symbols, life
cycle rituals, cultural icons and attempts to preserve culture.
While chapters are written by scholars drawing insight from a
variety of sources ranging from academic publications to
discussions with community experts, it is written in an accessible
way. This volume seeks to increase intercultural understanding
through presenting ample insights into the cultural beliefs and
practices of the different ethnic communities. While this book is
about diversity, a closer examination of the peoples and cultures
of Singapore demonstrates the many similarities communities share
in this Singaporean space.
