| Summary: | This research examines the process of identity (re)construction by Indonesian Chinese Women who lived in the Netherlands. The Period of time is taken from 1940s to 1980s. The 1940s, particularly in the first period of decolonization, at the time when there was the first great waves of migration from Indonesia to the Netherlands. While, the 1980s has sociologically marked by Indonesian Chinese women as the end of decolonization period,
designated by their visit to Indonesia � �interact with their old identities�.
I am limiting my research to the past experiences and memories of some Indonesian Chinese women who lived in the Netherlands at that period. Daniel Schacter and Piere Nora concepts about experience and memory are relevant to be applied for examining their identity. What kind of identities that has been (re)constructed within the Indonesian Chinese women in the Netherlands? How do they use and talk about the preservation of the experiences and memories of the past and bring it to the present life? Generating knowledge about these people through historical sources and interviews, this research could also be seen as an effort to document their life episodes that are often misunderstood and remain unacknowledged in Indonesian history.
There are four conclusions in this paper. Firstly, in case of the Indonesian Chinese women in the Netherlands, migration was a strategy to maintain their existence. Secondly, Indonesian Chinese (Tionghoa) and Chinese are two different identities.
Thirdly, there were three categories of identity (re)constructions that constructed by most of the Indonesian Chinese women in this study namely, from Chinese (of Dutch East Indies) became Dutch, Indonesian Chinese became Dutch and Indonesian Chinese became Dutch as well as Indonesian. Fourthly, the historical process of Identity (re)construction by Indonesian Chinese women in this research elucidate that there was an alteration of the label or stigmatization that imposed to the Indonesians Chinese. At the
early years of Indonesia�s independence, they stigmatized as foreigners, they were also associated with the Dutch, but in the 1960s, particularly after the1965 tragedy, they stigmatized as communist. |
