Book launch of 'All things Malaysian' in The Hague!
On 1 June 2011, a book entitled 'All things Malaysian' was launched at Rumah Malaysia in Wassenaar, The Hague. The book was published by Tourism Malaysia and is available in both Dutch and English versions. 'All things Malaysian' contains 24 fascinating short stories about Malaysia written by Dutch nationals from all walks of life. [20110601]
Marking ethnic boundaries among Malaysian Dutch Eurasians
RESEARCH: The main purpose of this research is to see if one can discriminate a separate Dutch Eurasian ethnic identity and if so, what actual or assumed characteristics Dutch Eurasians apply to themselves in defining their ethnic identity. A main question is "what does it mean to be Dutch Eurasian in contemporary multiethnic Malaysian society?" The research will mainly be executed by interviewing a number of Eurasians and others of whom an "outgroup" view of Malaysian Dutch Eurasians may be expected. Do not hesitate to contact us if you are keen to be part of this research. [20110122]
