Peranakan Chinese communities and their "hybrid" culture have fascinated many observers. Some argue that they are still alive while others maintain that they have become a museum topic. Such arguments have sprung from different perspectives. Based on the papers presented at a recent conference on the Peranakan Chinese, this publication aims at addressing some of the questions revolving around these communities in a globalizing Southeast Asia.
