Episode 25: New Research or Revisionism?

Recorded extemporaneously while sitting outside the Colosseum in Rome, Italy, PJ Thum answers listeners’ questions about the the importance of historical context and the meaning of communism in Singapore in the 1950s, and about the political significance and context of new historical research which the government has attempted to deride as “revisionist”.
