Inhaltsangabe

This study has won scholarly acclaim for its insightful analysis of a little-known area of Overseas Chinese history. It describes educational efforts for the Chinese population of the former Dutch East Indies. Education emerges as a touchstone of Dutch policy toward the non-European sectors of the population. Much attention is given to the differing social and economic status of the totok and peranakan groups within the Chinese population. Government schools are contrasted with the schools run by Chinese organizations. Based on government statistics and a wealth of historical detail, Ming Govaars tells a fascinating story which is relevant to the study of the Chinese in Indonesia, Overseas Chinese affairs in general, and the sociology of colonial societies.
