Biography
Patricia Tjiook-Liem obtained her PhD on the subject of the legal position of the Chinese in the Dutch East Indies in the 1848-1942 period. Since then, she has continued to do research on this population group. As chairperson of the Chinese Indonesian Heritage Center Foundation (CIHC), she aimed to publish an overview of the rich and sometimes tumultuous history of the Chinese from Indonesia. The perspective and insight it provides would help younger generations understand the complexities of the past.
