Politics in Simalungun: A Study in Political Integration (Liddle, 1967)

Open file in Google DriveRead full text

PhD dissertation (Yale, 1967) by R. William Liddle, a political-science study of local parties and political integration in Simalungun regency and Pematangsiantar, North Sumatra, based on 1963-64 fieldwork. Gerwani appears in a few brief passages in ch. VI: listed among PKI mass organizations (p. 190), given no membership figure in Table 6-1 (p. 197), said to exist 'largely on paper' (p. 199) and to be 'inactive' in Siantar city (p. 205). Wanita Demokrat, the PNI women's wing, is similarly weak.

Disertasi doktoral (Yale, 1967) karya R. William Liddle, kajian ilmu politik tentang partai lokal dan integrasi politik di Kabupaten Simalungun dan Pematangsiantar, Sumatra Utara, berdasarkan kerja lapangan 1963-64. Gerwani muncul dalam beberapa bagian singkat di bab VI: disebut sebagai organisasi massa PKI (hlm. 190), tanpa angka keanggotaan di Tabel 6-1 (hlm. 197), 'sebagian besar hanya di atas kertas' (hlm. 199), dan 'tidak aktif' di kota Siantar (hlm. 205). Wanita Demokrat, sayap perempuan PNI, juga lemah.

“p. 199: 'GERWANI, like Wanita Demokrat, existed largely on paper'; Table 6-1 (p. 197): Gerwani and LEKRA figures not available, 'presumed to be low... the author found little evidence of its activity.'”
