Abstract
»During the '65 genocide in Indonesia, many Indonesians of ethnic Chinese were also targeted. They were usually treated more badly in prisons and remained being discriminated against, intimidated and many were blackmailed years after they were released. However, many ex-political prisoners of ethnic Chinese did better than their indigenous counterparts. How and why? This is one of the main things I will discuss in my talk.
Nonetheless, the female victims of ethnic Chinese have different stories. Most of them were and are still very traumatised; and did not want to reveal their identities. Because of this, I decided to write a novel so that their stories can come out and gain attention.« |
