| Summary: | In The Chinese Annals of Batavia, the Kai Ba Lidai Shiji and Other Stories (1610-1795) Leonard Blussé and Nie Dening open up a veritable treasure trove of Chinese archival sources about the autonomous history of Chinese Batavia. The main part of this study is devoted to the annotated translation of a unique historical study of the Chinese community of Batavia (Jakarta) written by an anonymous Chinese author at the end of the 18th century, the Kai Ba Lidai Shiji . This historical document and a selection of other Chinese contemporary sources throw new light on a tragic event in the history of Southeast Asia's overseas Chinese: the massacre of Batavia's Chinese community in 1740. |
