Gateway to Peranakan Culture

Catherine GS Lim

A simple introduction to one of the more prominent minorities in Malaysia and Singapore. The Peranakan/Straits Chinese/Babas/Nyonyas are descendants of mainly Chinese immigrants who have inter married with their host communities for generations, in the course of which they have developed their own culture. The book looks at the community's origins, daily life, leisure activities and customs. Very Good Paperback. First Edition. 150 pages with line drawings, cartoons and some black and white photographs.
