This book offers a comprehensive account of indentured Chinese
labour in the Dutch East Indies between 1880 and 1942, particularly
in its twilight years after 1917. The author shows that Chinese
indenture started and evolved differently from other forms of
bonded labour in Southeast Asia and globally, including its Indian
and Javanese variants. This difference is reflected in its lexicon,
which was in part special to the Chinese strain. Using fieldwork
findings from the tin islands of Bangka and Belitung and the Deli
plantations on Sumatra as well as archival materials in Dutch,
Chinese, and other languages held in libraries in Java, Nanjing,
Taipei, Hong Kong, and Leiden, this book presents cutting-edge
research that sets out to contribute to the revising of our
historical understanding of indenture.
