Conflicts and Contracts: Chinese Intergenerational Relations in Modern Singapore - Couverture souple
Synopsis
Singapore is often described as an economic success story. Within only three decades, the tiny island-state has turned into a wealthy and sophisticated metropolis with a highly educated labor force. The massive transformation, however, has been accompanied by the emergence of a deep and complex generation gap. Apart from the leap in education, income and consumption, a generational divide has arisen with regard to language, religion and social memory. What are the causes and consequences of this generational divide, and how is it articulated and managed in everyday life? How are intergenerational expectations and obligations challenged and renegotiated in relation to the extensive societal change?
