This book reveals how school memories offer not only a tool for accessing the school of the past, but also a key to understanding what people today know (or think they know) about the school of the past. It describes, in fact, how historians’ work does not purely and simply consist in exploring school as it really was, but also in the complex process of defining the memory of school as one developed and revisited over time at both the individual and collective level. Further, it investigates the extent to which what people “know” reflects the reality or is in fact a product of stereotypes that are deeply rooted in common perceptions and thus exceedingly difficult to do away with. The book includes fifteen peer-reviewed contributions that were presented and discussed during the International Symposium “School Memories. New Trends in Historical Research into Education: Heuristic Perspectives and Methodological Issues” (Seville, 22-23 September, 2015).

Studies of the Indonesian Chinese have usually failed to address their role as a commercial bourgeoisie. Moreover, such studies tend to focus on the local-born peranakan Chinese, ignoring the China-born totok Chinese and the Chinese of the Outer Islands. This book fills a gap in the literature on Indonesian Chinese by focusing directly on Chinese business roles and the emergence of partnerships between Chinese businessmen, mainly the totok, and Indonesian revolutionaries. This close relationship was forged in the risky business of smuggling which was widespread during the 1940s. It also documents the transformation of the Chinese business community during this period from one dominated by the Dutch-educated peranakan to one led by the totok with good local connections to Indonesian power-holders. The integration of a substantial amount of Chinese oral and written sources makes this work especially valuable to students and researchers of contemporary Indonesia.
