Abstract

Pendidikan Jang Keliroe: Toneelstuk dalem Lima Bagian by Lauw Giok Lan (1922) is a Chinese Peranakan drama text published during the Dutch colonial period. The author is a journalist, founder of the Sin Po newspaper, and active in the Tiong Hoa Hwee Koan and Cheng Hwa Hui organizations. This drama represents the education system during the Dutch colonial period, which was considered immoral and unable to improve the fate of the people of the Dutch East Indies, including the Chinese community. This literary work criticizes Dutch education policies, which can only produce low-class workers and never succeed in making graduates rich. Colonial education only sharpened racial and social class discrimination. Through postcolonial theory, this research aims to see the ambivalence, resistance, and author's views on homeland and motherland that appear in this work.
