The Straits Chinese House: Domestic Life and Traditions

Peter Lee & Jennifer Chen

---

 

From the seventeenth century onwards Chinese immigrants have made Nanyang, Southeast Asia, their home. Before the nineteenth century most of the new settlers married into existing communities creating a distinct culture, known to day as the Peranakan or Straits Chinese tradition. In this book we get at least a visual representation of what that culture produced with a wide range of historic photographs with explanatory text. Peter Lee is the Curator of the Peranakan Museum in Singapore. 123 pages. Please see the scan of the contents page for further details. Very Good Paperback Reprint 

Weight: 1.1 kg. Post free within Malaysia, but, due to its weight, this book is likely to incur additional postal charges when posted outside Malaysia

Condition: There is a little bit of cover wear including a one inch scratch on the edge of the spine. Otherwise the book looks new
