thoroughfare in Valletta, the capital city – was renamed Republic Street. And yet, even almost 60 years after independence, Malta is a work in progress, a sovereign state but not so sovereign on the narratives that drive its interpretation of its history. No wonder we cannot agree to have one national day. Of course, the matter is highly complex. Xuereb admits: his book is written in the English language; and here am I critiquing his book in the same language. These facts echo and reflect the hegemony of English as the written word in Malta (and elsewhere). They remind us that at its single national public university, rebranded as L-Università ta’ Malta, the main language of instruction and assessment is overwhelmingly English. The University’s first-ever Language Policy guidelines affirmed the vital role of English as its main language of instruction and assessment, but also upheld the significance of Maltese as the national language and the university’s responsibility towards its broad and correct use. The issue of identity is vexed. The author is keen to raise it as a subject of debate, and would have us, for example, sing the national anthem at school. And remove the George Cross from the national flag. I am wary of such overtures, since identity politics can be manipulated by political elites, and give sway to exclusionary practices and right-wing ideologues which have mercifully not been significant so far, other than as a dark underbelly of racism. But symbols count. Such ruminations are exactly what one hopes for from a book like this. Xuereb weaves the Malta story using a Braudelian longue durée approach, and enriches it with almost one thousand citations and footnotes, including a thorough listing of the many foreign (British) monuments that are found all over Valletta. This is an insightful book, but also a monumental one (pun intended).

ABSTRACT Singapore’s Section 377A criminalises sex between men, making it punishable by up to two years in prison. Over the years, there have been calls to repeal the law and decriminalise homosexuality, citing human rights, access to health care and social support. However, opponents argue that it goes against traditional and religious values and would lead to a breakdown of social order. The article explores the issue of, and the political responses to, decriminalising homosexuality from the perspective of secularism and electoral pragmatism and the implications of decriminalisation for the country’s future.

The mental health of people in South Asia is an essential aspect of their life. It is becoming increasingly a matter of concern, with many people experiencing problems like depression, anxiety, and addiction. Studies have shown that South Asia has a higher rate of mental illness than many other regions of the world. Inappropriate knowledge and mental health stigma make it hard for people to seek help and to get proper treatment. Mental health services are also often not good enough or easy to get because there are insufficient trained professionals and resources are scarce.
