"Was Serena's obsession with the snake brooch just superstition of did the brooch really possess an evil power which was gradually closing in around her? For Kurt, buying the brooch was an expression of love for his partner, and a boost to his own flagging confidence in her love. For Serena, the brooch was both fascinating and frightening. Serena was convinced this was the brooch her mother had told her about. Originally made for her grandmother, it had been owned by several women in Malacca and Jakarta. Each woman had suffered severe injury and lost her husband or lover in ways seemingly related to the brooch. Now the brooch had found its way to her. This is the story of Serena's increasing obsession with the brooch, and her desire to keep it, despite many warnings to get rid of it before it could destroy her. An intriguing look at the power inanimate objects can have over many in the Chinese-descent communities of Malaysia and Indonesia." Fiction. "Sooner or later, Westerners have to confront the challenges to their rationality posed by belief in the supernatural in general and magic in particular. Dewi Anggraeni does not compromise in taking the view that magic and the supernatural are real and continue to operate in modern society." --Michael Day, The West Australian.

Paperback. Dewi Anggraeni, Indra Publishing. Dewi Anggraeni wrote this book because she saw that many things which did not fit the ethnic Chinese stereotype in Indonesia were rarely brought to the public's attention, as they were not easily 'slotted' into the existing neat categories. "I wanted to break some of the issues I deemed important out of the editing 'black hole' and present them as the core contents of a book, because they were very significant not only for others to understand, but for the ethnic Chinese to understand what was happening to, and around, themselves".

Condizione: Hervorragend. Zustand: Hervorragend | Seiten: 268 | Sprache: Englisch | Produktart: Bücher | When the women come to recruitment agencies to work as domestic helpers overseas, they begin building the foundation of their dreams of a better future. During their training following the recruitment, their dreams assume colours and shapes. They leave their homeland with high hopes and aspirations. Arriving at their destinations, the workers quickly realize that no amount of training can prepare them for the shock of the cold, foreign world which confronts them. Those who are placed with considerate employers have generally happy working lives. Those who are placed with employers who expect ready-to-use service from their domestic helpers have a long and rocky road to navigate. With very little bargaining power and negotiating skills, as well as social prejudice from many parts of the community, these women's dreams can easily turn into nightmares. In Dreamseekers: Indonesian Women as Domestic Workers in Asia, veteran journalist Dewi Anggraeni uncovers the hidden world of domestic helpers from all points of view: the employers, the agents, the governments, the NGOs, and most importantly the workers themselves. This first-hand account of the struggles and successes of these women is described in vivid detail, and Dreamseekers is a must-read by anyone interested in the plight of these remarkable women. About the Author Dewi Anggraeni, a native of Jakarta, is a journalist and novelist now residing in Melbourne. She is the Australia correspondent for Tempo and regular contributor to the Jakarta Post. Her works have been published in Australia, Indonesia, Hong Kong, the USA, the UK, and Malaysia.

She has also contributed to various anthologies and collections of essays including "Journey to my Cultural Home", in Weaving a Double Cloth (2002, Pandanus Books).…
