AWA Book Review: Unease - Life in Singapore Families (2026) by Teo You Yenn
Another insightful book review from the AWA Review of Asian Books, Mandakini Arora examines Teo You Yenn’s "Unease: Life in Singapore Families." This sequel to her bestseller "This Is What Inequality Looks Like" dives into the gap between pro-family rhetoric and the lived reality of caregivers. Teo reveals how gender roles, educational pressure, and a "results-oriented" culture create a hidden sense of unease, challenging us to rethink human worth beyond wealth and degrees.
