Title
Majulah Singapura: National Day and Flag Culture in a Southeast Asian City-State
Abstract
A year in Singapore as a Fulbright fellow provided the author the opportunity to observe flag use in a country whose national symbols reflect its unique politics, history, and culture. Many photographs illustrate reflections on the strategies Singapore uses to make the flag a centerpiece of civic pride.
