Unease: Life in Singapore Families

Sociologist Teo You Yenn returns, eight years after This Is What Inequality Looks Like, to examine why family life in Singapore feels so fraught. Drawing on in-depth interviews with parents across the social spectrum, she shows how hierarchy, competition and ideas of unequal worth seep into everyday parenting and the culture of 'doing family.' The result is an incisive look at what these pressures cost parents, children and the values a society holds.
