Memories of a Nonya
Memories of a Nonya was first published in 1981. This reissue of the book is based on the 1982 edition.The late Queeny Chang was a trailblazer. She spoke English, Malay, Dutch as well as several dialects. She led an extraordinary life and in this book, she presents a vision of a way of life that has long since vanished.

What she had to say to her life with her famous father, the late Mr. Tjiong A Fie is both fascinating and touching. Here is a story of a gentle woman, very real, warm and sincere.
The Archives of the Kong Koan of Batavia
The archive of the Kong Koan constitutes the only relatively complete archive of a “diaspora” Chinese urban community in Southeast Asia. The essays in the present volume offer important and new insights into many different aspects of Overseas Chinese life between 1780-1965. The Kong Koan of colonial Batavia was a semi-autonomous organization, in which the local elite of Jakarta’s Chinese community supervised and coordinated its social and religious matters. During its long existence as a semi-official colonial institution, the Kong Koan collected sizeable Chinese archival holdings with demographic data on marriages and funerals, account books of the religious organisations and temples, documents connected with educational institutions, and the meetings of the board itself.

BitterSweet
Behind the statistics of migration are the life stories of millions of migrants and their descendants. The movement of people out of China is one of the largest movements of humanity in modern times and large numbers of Chinese emigrated to the colony of the Dutch East Indies, now Indonesia. While many of them prospered in their new home, it was against a background of uncertainty and a feeling that they were not entirely welcome in their adopted homeland. BitterSweet is the poignant story of one Chinese family's life in Indonesia, and of their eventual emigration to Australia.

Nanyang
This volume is a book of reflections and encounters about the region that the Chinese knew as Nanyang. The essays in it look back at the years of uncertainty after the end of World War II and explore the period largely through images of mixed heritages in Malaysia and Singapore. They also look at the trends towards social and political divisiveness following the years of decolonization in Southeast Asia. Never far in the background is the struggle to build new nations during four decades of an ideological Cold War and the Chinese determination to move from near-collapse in the 1940s and out of the traumatic changes of the Maoist revolution to become the powerhouse that it now is.

Anak Cucu Kolonial Identitas Pengalaman dan Memori Perempuan Tionghoa di Belanda
Identitas perempuan Tionghoa merupakan persoalan yang tidak saja unik, tetapi juga kompleks. Identitas mereka sering menyebabkan keindonesiaan mereka dipertanyakan, meskipun banyak yang berhasil mengharumkan nama Indonesia. Tak heran, pada masa kemerdekaan, terutama ketika diskriminasi dan stigmatisasi terhadap komunitas Tionghoa merambang pascatragedi politik 1965, banyak yang memilih bermigrasi ke Belanda. Buku ini menganalisis konstruksi ulang identitas para perempuan Tionghoa yang bermigrasi ke Belanda. Buku ini juga menyajikan refleksi mengenai jalinan pengalaman dan memori yang dituturkan para perempuan Tionghoa dengan common history Indonesia (lokal) dan dunia (global) serta persepsi mereka tentang Indonesia kini berdasarkan memori dan pengalaman yang mereka miliki. Kehadiran buku ini bisa dilihat sebagai upaya untuk mendokumentasikan episode kehidupan perempuan Tionghoa yang secara sistemis terabaikan dalam sejarah Indonesia, dan untuk meningkatkan kesadaran masyarakat agar saling menghormati dan menghargai keragaman Indonesia.
