Unity in Diversity: Language and Society in Singapore

The book presented a holistic observation of the implementation and progress of 

Singapore’s language planning and bilingual education policies since the nation’s independence. 

This was done through analysing data gleaned from years of national census and large amounts of historical facts and setting the research from sociolinguistic perspectives. The book also explored the current state of languages used by the four main local ethnic groups and the future trends, leading to discussions on important social sciences issues such as national consciousness, racial consciousness and self-identity.

Originally published in Simplified Chinese edition, namely 多元和统一：新加坡的语言与社会, in 2022, was one of the 10 Best Non-fiction Chinese Books of the Year of Yazhou Zhoukan 亚洲周刊.
