The volume is authored by Ridwan Saidi, an indigenous scholar deeply engaged in the historiography, cultural anthropology, and ethnological traditions of the Betawi people. His ethnographic treatise critically challenges the hypothesis advanced by Lance Castle (1967), which posits that the Betawi population descends primarily from enslaved individuals imported by the Dutch beginning in 1597 during the era of the Dutch East Indies. Saidi counters this assertion by referencing archaeological evidence, including the discovery of Neolithic lithic implements in the Condet region and epigraphic inscriptions near Tugu, which collectively indicate that the Jakarta area had been continuously inhabited for approximately two millennia. Furthermore, the author undertakes a philological and cultural analysis, elucidating the etymology of village toponyms, explicating proverbial expressions, documenting artistic practices, and preserving oral traditions alongside biographical narratives of prominent figures within Betawi society
