Description
After Kebaya Tales and Sarong Secrets comes Manek Mischiefs, a rich, gutsy collection of short stories immersing the reader into the vivid, multi-hued world of the Peranakans. Here, the babas take centre stage: masculine perspectives, voices and protagonists are put under the spotlight, even as fiery and headstrong heroines pursue their passions in the face of powerful obstacles. The characters seek to forge individual identities within a unique cultural heritage facing the challenges of modern times. Illustrated with numerous photographs of Peranakan artefacts etc.
