Synopsis

"Smithsonian Legacy" explores the remarkable story of the Smithsonian Institution, tracing its evolution from a nascent idea fueled by the Smithson bequest to a global leader in research, education, and cultural preservation. The book examines how this institution, born from an Englishman's vision, navigated early struggles and controversies to significantly shape scientific knowledge and cultural understanding in America. From its pivotal role in advancing fields like natural history and anthropology to its enduring impact on American society, the book delves into the Smithsonian's complex history and its ongoing adaptation to modern challenges, revealing its unique position as a dynamic force in shaping public understanding.

 
The book is structured chronologically and thematically, beginning with the establishment of the Smithsonian in the mid-19th century and concluding with an examination of the challenges it faces in the 21st century. Early chapters explore the interpretation of James Smithson's will and the debates surrounding the institution's mission. Later chapters examine the growth of the Smithsonian's museums and research centers, its increasing involvement in national and international affairs, and its engagement with diverse audiences. Drawing on a wide range of sources, the book offers fresh perspectives on the Smithsonian's historical trajectory, examining its internal dynamics, its relationships with other institutions, and its impact on society at large. It highlights the institution's ability to adapt to changing societal needs and scientific advancements while staying true to Smithson’s original vision, making it a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of science, culture, and philanthropy.

Advocates and activists in Singapore contribute to policy discussions and positive change through a combination of deft manoeuvres and patient politics. Yet civil society is often unacknowledged, their skill and labour instead frequently misunderstood, even earning them the label of “troublemakers” or “enemies of the state”. 
 
This collection of essays and interviews is a candid reflection on the intentions, beliefs and strategies behind the practice of advocacy across a spectrum of causes. The contributors come from varying backgrounds and include academics, artists, lawyers, journalists, non-profit and advocacy organisations, student and community organisers. They share practical insights into their aims and community-building work, and the tactics they employ to overcome obstacles, shedding light on how to navigate a city-state with shifting socio-political fault lines and out-of-bound markers. 
 
With an introduction, “It is Time to Trim the Banyan Tree”, by Constance Singam, and a conclusion, “Their Struggle is Ours to Continue”, by Suraendher Kumarr.
