"The book
contains fourteen chapters on themes and issues about Peranakan Chinese
identities that are most synonymous with the author’s expertise as a Sinologist
whose research work was mainly based on the Sino-Indonesian context. All in
all, the book is interesting as it marks the perseverance and development of
the Peranakan as a social phenomenon that is unique to the Malay Archipelago
from the precolonial era up to the present."
About the publication
Peranakan Chinese communities and their “hybrid” culture have fascinated many observers. This book, comprising fourteen chapters, was mainly based on papers written by the author in the last two decades. The chapters address Peranakan Chinese cultural, national and political identities in the Malay Archipelago, i.e., Indonesia, Malaysia and Singapore (IMS). This book is divided into two parts. Part I which is on the regional dimension, contains nine chapters that discuss the three countries and beyond. Part II consists of five chapters which focus on one country, i.e., Indonesia. This book not only discusses the past and the present, but also the future of the Peranakan Chinese.
