A Traditional Leader in a Time of Change: the Kijaji and Ulama in West Java (Horikoshi, 1976)
Hiroko Horikoshi's 1976 University of Illinois anthropology PhD thesis on kijaji and ulama as traditional leaders in a West Java (Priangan, Cipari) Islamic village, covering kinship, rural economy, the life cycle, the ulama as educators and legal experts, and kijaji charisma. It has almost nothing on Gerwani: a single passing mention (p. 100) of a former member of the 'defunct' Communist women's league who diverted irrigation water in the post-Gestapu years, when local police intervened.
Disertasi PhD antropologi Hiroko Horikoshi (University of Illinois, 1976) tentang kiai dan ulama sebagai pemimpin tradisional di sebuah desa Islam di Jawa Barat (Priangan, Cipari): kekerabatan, ekonomi pedesaan, siklus hidup, ulama sebagai pendidik dan ahli hukum, serta karisma kiai. Hampir tidak membahas Gerwani: hanya satu sebutan sepintas (hlm. 100) tentang mantan anggota liga wanita komunis yang 'sudah bubar' yang mengalihkan air irigasi pada tahun-tahun pasca-Gestapu, sehingga polisi setempat turun tangan.
“Around p. 100: during the post-Gestapu period 'a woman who had been a member of the defunct Communist women's league, GERWANI' stopped irrigation flowing to one paddy and channelled it to another; local police stepped in.”
