As I write the final chapter of this book, Indonesia is preparing for the inauguration of Indonesia’s 8th president. I was in Pontianak in 2014, shortly after Prabowo Subianto was first nominated as a presidential candidate. I remember sitting on the floor of my kos mates’ room, discussing what they thought of his potential election. One of them voiced a deep concern shared by many Chinese Indonesians, noting that it was Prabowo who is believed to have instigated the large-scale anti-Chinese riots of 1998—riots that right-wing nationalists and militant Islamists have recently threatened to repeat (Tomsa, 2009). She worried that they would no longer be safe in Indonesia if Prabowo were president, but fleeing Indonesia was not a simple solution. “Where would we go?”, she asked.
