Title: Malacca: Voices From the Street
	Description : "We began by listening to the voices of ordinary Malaccans. We listened to the city's streets, as we searched out hidden corners and abandoned alleyways. Listened to houses and temples, ruins and cemeteries. Even to the murmurs and whispers of empty spaces. We listened at every turn, at every step. To the living and the dead. The past and the present. In the hope that the story of an extraordinary place and its people would be told. And we heard them speak."

Title: Chinese Houses Of Southeast: The Eclectic Architecture Of Sojourners And Settlers

Author: Ronald G. Knapp

Description :  The migration of Chinese from southeastern China to Southeast Asia is a significant component of the world's major cultural diasporas. It is the story of these hybrid architectural forms, built under different social and geographical environments that is the focus of this book. Over a three-year period from 2007 to 2009, Ronald G. Knapp and A. Chester Ong made five field excursions to Asia in search of the old homes of Chinese sojourners and settlers. This book, a fascinating account of architectural multiculturalism in the pre-modern world, presents the results of their research. An introductory essay portrays the historical circumstances that gave rise to Chinese houses overseas, and includes historic images, colour photographs, paintings and line drawings. At the core of the book are stunning colour photographs of nearly 40 residences built from the late 18th into the early 20th century. For each residence, background information about the individual and his family who built and then lived there is given. Images from southeastern China help clarify similarities and differences, and in several cases, related family residences in China are also presented.

Description :  A Baba Wedding is a detailed and fascinating account of traditional Baba nuptials which comprised a series of colourful and meaningful ceremonies lasting 12 days. The text takes the reader systematically through the wedding, beginning with the matchmaking process and ending with the post-nuptial parties.

The author also traces, wherever relevant, the "local" influences which colour the original Chinese beliefs, to make the cultural heritage of the Babas truly unique. Fully illustrated, including photographs taken at an actual Malaccan Baba wedding. Reissue of a 1983 publication.
