The Family Man -- APPENDIX -- INDEX -- ABOUT THE AUTHORGerald de Cruz's life overlapped many of the spheres of Singapore's history after World War II. As a Eurasian, a nationalist, a communist and then a democratic socialist, as a journalist and a writer, he represents the insurgent energies of a truculent time when a nascent nation was seeking the basis of statehood. His commitment to progressive ideas and movements reveals a man of integrity in search of himself in a better world. This book seeks to portray his place in time, particularly for younger Singaporeans who did not live in an era that has inaugurated the history of independent Singapore.The Life & Times of Gerald de CruzCommunistsSingaporeBiographyNationalistsSingaporeBiographySingaporePolitics and governmentCommunistsNationalists959.57Asad Latif945149Project MuseUkCbUPUkCbUPBOOK9910796225303321Life and times of Gerald de Cruz3788543UNINA
