- This book traces the history of the costume of Peranakan women: specifically, the sarong, kebaya, and baju panjang. The sarong kebaya is only a starting point for a rich history of language, women, trade, slavery, community formation, and education.Illustrated with historical photographs and images of sarongs and kebayas the book is a real reference. Peter Lee has amassed impressive documentation from primary and secondary sources in this book.
