Items related to Confrontation
The turmoil in post war Singapore is seen through the eyes of a young boy, Adi. Gang fights, racial tensions and political upheavals have affected everyone even those in Adi's village as the people and the country come to grips with the new world order. Seen through the unique perspective of the young Malay boy Adi, this fundamental period in Singaporean history is brought to life with masterful empathy. In the tradition of Ben Okri s The Famished Road and Anita Desai s The Village By the Sea, Confrontation is an incredible evocation of village life and of the consequences that come from political alignment and realignment.
