Etnis Tionghoa dan nasionalisme Indonesia sebuah bunga rampai, 1965-2008

The reviews commend this collection as highly suitable for anyone interested in the history of the Chinese ethnic group in Indonesia, or for those seeking a deeper understanding of life in the archipelago. Despite containing writings that are over a decade old, readers found the content to be remarkably relevant to contemporary issues, particularly in light of current global political discussions on nationalism. The book is generally described as interesting and offers valuable new perspectives.

The primary point of criticism mentioned is that some of the essays are printed using older spelling conventions. This stylistic choice occasionally made certain sections of the book slightly difficult for some readers to fully comprehend.

In conclusion, the book is considered a compelling read that successfully offers a distinct viewpoint on the experiences of people within the Indonesian archipelago. It would particularly resonate with Indonesian readers, individuals curious about the history and experiences of the Chinese diaspora in Indonesia, and anyone exploring the evolving concept of nationalism. Readers who appreciate historical context and diverse perspectives, and who are willing to overlook minor linguistic variations, are likely to find this collection very rewarding.
