Interpretations of the 1965 Indonesian Coup: A Review of the Literature
Interpretations of the 1965 Indonesian Coup: a review of the literature (van der Kroef, 1970)
Review essay by Justus M. van der Kroef (Pacific Affairs, winter 1970) surveying interpretations of the 1965 coup (Wertheim, Rey, the Cornell Report, Utrecht, Pluvier, Hughes, Nugroho/Saleh) from a pro-PKI-complicity standpoint. Several passages mention Gerwani members' role at Halim; he cites 'Mrs Djamilah's' confession of razor-blade mutilation (Sinar Harapan, 5 Nov 1965) and rejects Rey's denial of atrocities. Useful for how the mutilation claim circulated in scholarship.
Esai ulasan Justus M. van der Kroef (Pacific Affairs, musim dingin 1970) yang menyurvei tafsir kudeta 1965 (Wertheim, Rey, Laporan Cornell, Utrecht, Pluvier, Hughes, Nugroho/Saleh) dari sudut pandang keterlibatan PKI. Beberapa bagian menyebut peran anggota Gerwani di Halim; ia mengutip pengakuan 'Ny. Djamilah' tentang silet (Sinar Harapan, 5 Nov 1965) dan menolak penyangkalan Rey atas kekejaman. Berguna untuk melihat peredaran klaim mutilasi dalam kajian.
“p.559 n.7: 'Cf. the confession of Mrs. Djamilah, who participated in the butchering of the three generals by means of razor blades. Sinar Harapan, November 5, 1965'; p.564: Cornell Report admits Gerwani and Pemuda Rakjat 'were involved in the killings'.”
