Changi: a place of personal pilgrimages and collective histories
1Nanyang Technological University.
Abstract:
This article investigates the meaning that the Changi historical site has had for its visitors. The study traces how the landmarks and relics of the former prisoner-of-war camp at Changi in Singapore have been re-created and, in some cases, relocated for the public since the end of World War II. Changi's meaning as a place is derived not only from the significance that it has for the ex-prisoners of war and their relatives, who frequently revisit the site: many visitors for whom Changi represents a major historical event in their own national history also attach considerable importance to the site.
