Summary
These papers show the importance of oral history where there are no documentary records. The exploration of memory covering classes, communities and localities shows the multiplicity and complexity of memory, deeply layered and richly textured especially because of the complex nature of society in Malaysia and Singapore. As the generation who fought and suffered is passing, this volume of reflections on war and memory is timely.
