1966年至1998年是印尼華人黑暗的時間，由於印尼新秩序政府的規則，華人不能表示他們的傳統風俗習慣。華人不能慶祝過年、用中文名字、學華語、等等的事情，而且政府也關閉所有華文學校與華文報社。政府認爲有這樣的辦法華人能順利地跟印尼本地人同化。不過，這件事也使華人的華文能力越來越減少，後來年輕人不會懂華文。1999年起，政府的新規定許可華人再使用華文與做傳統文化的活動。因此，華人能介紹他們的傳統文化，另外有許多華人與本地人開始學華文。華人作家認爲這個情況也是一個好的機會為介紹印華文學，因此他們成立一個華人作家的組織。印華寫作者協會（簡稱印華作協）是一個印尼華人作家的組織。介紹印尼華文文學是這個組織的重點。有印華作協的成立能協助華人保持他們祖先的傳統遺產，特別是在華文文學方面。華人作家寫作文學作品為表達他們對印尼情況的感覺，特別是關於華人面對歧視問題的事情。其實，除了以華文以外，印華作協作家也以印尼文寫文學作品。這個辦法的目標是爲了引起不懂華語印尼人的興趣。The years of 1966 – 1998 are the dark era for Chinese-Indonesian society.
