One outcome of the contact between East and West in the last four centuries has been the creation of the Eurasian community. Theirs is a fascinating history of a people with far-flung roots from Ceylon to Batavia, Malacca and Europe: a story that is the human dimension of the history of trade and colonial rule in the region.
Excellent anthology/history of the Eurasian race in Singapore and a must for those who wish to understand the various contributions to the Singapore of today this unique group of people are responsible for in the past and continue to do so today. Highly recommended.
