No Concessions: The Life of Yap Thiam Hien,
Indonesian Human Rights Lawyer
By Daniel S. Lev
Introduction by Benedict Anderson
Postscript by Sebastiaan Pompe and Ibrahim Assegaf

The compelling personal story of human rights lawyer Yap Thiam Hien (1913 - 1989) brings decades of modern Indonesian history to life. No Concessions is a penetrating analysis of the trajectory of the Chinese minority in Indonesia over close to a century and the remarkable making of a civic leader. Without abandoning his ethnic roots, Yap transcended them by becoming a courageous legal defender of civil and human rights of all oppressed Indonesians, including former communists and radical Muslims.
