Sommario/riassunto

In this fully updated, second edition of Crossroads, Jim Baker adds two new chapters that bring Malaysia and Singapore into the middle of the first decade of the 21st century. The original text (which traces the



complex currents of history and politics of Malaysia and Singapore'neighbours with a common past) is also revised to re-evaluate events in the context of an expanded history.
