Singapore gained independence in 1965, a city-state in a world of
nation-states. Yet its long and complex history reaches much
farther back. Blending modernity and tradition, ideologies and
ethnicities, a peculiar set of factors make Singapore what it is
today. In this thematic study of the island nation, Michael D. Barr
proposes a new approach to understand this development. From the
pre-colonial period through to the modern day, he traces the idea,
the politics and the geography of Singapore over five centuries of
rich history. In doing so he rejects the official narrative of the
so-called 'Singapore Story'. Drawing on in-depth archival work and
oral histories, Singapore: A Modern History is a work both for
students of the country's history and politics, but also for any
reader seeking to engage with this enigmatic and vastly successful
nation.
