- Summary:
- By exploring a rich array of Malay texts from novels and newspapers to poems and plays, Tom G. Hoogervorst's 'Language Ungoverned' examines how the Malay of the Chinese-Indonesian community defied linguistic and political governance under Dutch colonial rule, offering a fresh perspective on the subversive role of language in colonial power relations. As a liminal colonial population, the ethnic Chinese in Indonesia resorted to the press for their education, legal and medical advice, conflict resolution, and entertainment.
