Book Synopsis
Surabaya is Indonesia's second largest city but is not well known to the outside world. Yet in 1900, Surabaya was a bigger city than Jakarta and one of the main commercial centers of Asia.

Trade Review
“The ease with which to book can be read conceals the fact that Dick has had to painstakingly piece the account together from a large number of disparate sources, including Dutch archival materials.… Dick proves that resourceful use of snippets of information can go a very long way.” * Australian Economic History *
“With its explicit emphasis on long–term trends and the socio–political context, it is a readable book for the general student of Indonesia or urban history. At the same time, the richness of the data presented, and the sophistication of his judgment, make it a rewarding source for the specialist.” * EH.NET *
