In this chapter we will be concerned with that particular aspect of acculturation which focuses on the adoption of the tangible, material objects, such as food, housing, and clothing. For each set of objects we will describe the Peranakan pattern and then examine some of its specific traits to determine whether their origin is Indonesian or Chinese, i.e., Totok. This will help us decide whether the subsistence patterns of the Peranakans are closer to those of the indigenous people or to those of the Totok Chinese.

摘要

In this chapter we will be concerned with that particular aspect of acculturation which focuses on the adoption of the tangible, material objects, such as food, housing, and clothing. For each set of objects we will describe the Peranakan pattern and then examine some of its specific traits to determine whether their origin is Indonesian or Chinese, i.e., Totok. This will help us decide whether the subsistence patterns of the Peranakans are closer to those of the indigenous people or to those of the Totok Chinese.
