| Synopsis: |
The ethnic Chinese minority in Indonesia is a heterogeneous group. Many have been acculturated and have generated an Indonesian Chinese culture which is unique and yet deeply rooted in Indonesian society. In education, literature and the press, the ethnic Chinese have been largely assimilated into local society. In religion, assimilation has taken on a different form: Chinese minority religions are highly Indonesianised while retaining some Chinese characteristics. Ironically, the success of the ethnic Chinese in the economic field can be attributed not to their acculturation, but their migrant culture, ethos, as well as the Chinese networks in Southeast Asia and beyond. The ten papers in The 'Culture of the Chinese' Minority in Indonesia -- some previously published, all substantially revised and updated to include recent developments -- adopt a thematic and historical approach in examining the developing of ethnic Chinese culture and society in Indonesia. This edition features a new preface and postscript by the author. |
