This book represents a general introduction to the challenges of what might be called "Peranakan Studies." The Peranakan people were part of the Colonial-era history of the Nanyang or Overseas Chinese of many Southeast Asian nations. As a distinct ethno-culture of the British Straits Settlements along the Malaysian coastline in the Straits of Malacca, the so-called Babas and Nonyas (who were for some the epitome of Peranakan ethno-culture) represented the Malayanized Chinese who adopted distinctive cultural patterns in kinship, dress, cuisine, business, customs and manners. Today, the traditional customary culture is no longer alive as a coherent community, except inasmuch as it still survives in the homes, families, photo-albums, fond memories and folklore of its many descendants now spread around the world.
