Popis: Centennial commemorations of the May Fourth Movement in Singapore demonstrate how practices of remembrance reinforce but also transcend national and cultural boundaries. Throughout 2019, Singaporeans reflected on the iconoclastic, anti-imperialist, and pro-democracy elements of May Fourth while simultaneously challenging public memories as observed in China. As such, these commemorations shed important light on memory studies, postcoloniality, and Singapore Chinese identity.
