	Description:		In this episode, Swedian talks with Stanley Widianto, a young Chinese-Indonesian freelance journalist who has written for publications such as The Guardian, South China Morning Post, Tirto, Tempo, among other publications. We chat about Stanley’s journey into becoming a journalist and the careful & reflective perspectives he has cultivated in his writing. We discuss two of Stanley’s pieces in depth:Seorang Non-Pribumi Menulis Kolom Ini” or “A Non-Indigenous Indonesian Wrote This Column,” and “The day my Chinese dad was declared a ‘bona fide’ Indonesian and given a new name.” Listeners, we encourage to read these two pieces before listening to this episode, so that you have a sense of what Stanley’s talking about and wrote about. We have links to these two articles on our website, www.dialogika.id, on the page for this episode. Finally, we wrap up with Stanley’s carefully, skeptically optimistic thoughts about Chinese-Indonesians in this current political climate and how to reconcile & recognize the legacy of the past in contending the future.
