Nanyang Perspective -

by

Andrew William Lind

This fascinating and probably long forgotten study was the by-product of a visit in 1969 by this distinguished US sociologist to work with the sociology department of Nanyang University, Singapore. It so happened that the May 13th riots took place during his stay, soa few months later, when tensions had eased somewhat, he conducted this survey into racial attitudes and inter racial experiences of the students of this exclusively ethnic Chinese university on the edge of a multiracial community. Publication was delayed until five years after the survey to avoid accusations of inflaming tensions. 292 pages. Chapters include -

• 1 - The Changing Immigrant World of Singapore,
• 2 - Ethnic, Racial and Political Factors in Singapore's Development,
• 3 - A Chinese University in a Foreign Setting,
• 4 - Personal Resources for a Multiracial Society,
• 5 - Racial and Ethnic Perspectives &
• 6 - Nanyang Perspectives.
• There are twelve sets of tables, an appendix on racial index of occupational status, a bibliography and an index.
