The Art of Advocacy in Singapore by Margaret Thomas, Constance Singam

4.0

A collection of short essays by civil society leaders and advocates in Singapore on why they carry on with the work they do, and the many challenges they face. Though the quality of writing is uneven, the book is valuable in giving first-hand insight into issues that are often unseen, especially relating to attempts by the state to curtail or redirect work into areas that are more palatable. Apart from the official Singapore story, the work of these advocates play an equally important role in shaping a more inclusive and equal Singapore.
