Description
About the Book
Medan, located on Sumatra, emerged from the plantation industry, which is frequently described as a conflict model due to its harsh labor conditions. Contrary to the contentious nature of the plantations, Medan itself was relatively harmonious. The nine Chinese individuals highlighted in this study played a significant role in fostering this harmony.Book Synopsis
The City of Medan on Sumatra emerged from the large-scale plantation industry. The plantations were characterized by harsh labor conditions, and frequently described as an area of suppression and struggle.
