Reviews

In The Storytelling State, Cheng puts forward a strong and critical argument regarding the value of story and the performativity of citizenship in the public sphere. She focuses on a state-led initiative in Singapore to revise ideas of nationhood and society through practices of storytelling and mediation. Cheng writes with scrutiny, care and a playful sense of irony, harnessing her skills as an oral historian, dramaturg and performance analyst. In this engaging narrative, readers will find a valuable interweaving of viewpoints and styles of articulation that include detailed descriptions, screenplays of video extracts, and personal anecdotes that reveal wide-ranging theoretical perspectives."" - Charlene Rajendran, Nanyang Technological University
