Singapore's era of pluralism between the 1950s and 1970s was a time
of extraordinary cultural, intellectual and political dynamism.
Students, labour unions, ambitious political contenders, and
representatives of the various ethnic communities all stepped
forward to offer alternate visions of Singapore's future from
across the entire political spectrum. They generated a ferment of
ideologies, priorities, perspectives and social visions such as
mainstream 'official' Singapore politics had never known before and
has not seen since.Post WWII Singapore history generally follows a
central theme of progress to establish the PAP political, economic
and social model. Alternatives receive cursory treatment as
problems, false starts, or difficulties to be overcome. This book
reveals a more complex situation that involved a much larger cast
of significant players, and gives due weight to the middle years of
the twentieth century as a period that offered real alternatives,
rather than a chaotic age before the dawn.The book will remind
older Singaporeans of pages from their past, and will provide a
younger generation with a novel perspective at their country's past
struggles. For outside observers, it offers a fascinating glimpse
of a side of Singapore that has received relatively little
attention.
