The Nyonya KebayaBy Salmah Bte SanusiA very good book with lots of information on the origin of the Nyonya Kebaya.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. such a rare bookBy PeterIts by no means a coincidence that this book was published a mere two years before her passing away. With this book; Datin Seri Endon Mahmood made an invaluable contribution to the revival and to the introduction to the world of the diminishing Peranakan culture; one of the highest unique achievements of maritime Southeast Asia; mainly the Malay Peninsula (Malaysia and Singapore) and Java (Indonesia).This book is for everyone whether they are artists; designers; historians; or just plain collectors. It brings the reader to the old days gone by; to the contemporary; and to what the future might hold. Her love of the Sarong Kebaya and its associated culture shows in the details of the presentations of this book. That itself is a work of art.
