Singapore society is increasingly becoming diverse. During the
first few decades of nation building, policies were designed to
homogenise aspects of Singaporean society while enshrining
principles to allow restricted amounts of diversity. Fast forward
to the present, and fifty years after independence, the number of
areas where diversity is profoundly apparent remains copious, and
its manifestations more varied.This book provides an updated
account on the tensions posed by diversity in Singapore and how
this is being managed, primarily by the state through policies and
programmes but also by communities who attempt to negotiate these
tensions. Such an enquiry is crucial especially at this juncture
when the nation is finding ways to embrace the different forms of
diversity brought about through external impetuses, as well as
manage internal reactions from the various communities. The book
chapters highlight important considerations if Singapore's
diversity management strategies will hold promise for the future.
