Open file in Google DriveRead full text

PhD dissertation (History, University of Washington, 2020) by Hongxuan Lin tracing the confluence of Islam and Marxism in the Netherlands East Indies and Indonesia, 1915-1959, through vernacular print culture; it genealogises Sukarno's NASAKOM. Gerwani appears only briefly: citing Blackburn, it says millions joined for practical help such as literacy courses and creches (ch. 2, p. 207). In ch. 3 (pp. 268-269) it describes Gerwis (1950) becoming PKI-influenced Gerwani (1954), with Trimurti blocked from its chair, and Muslim women such as S. Yati supporting it.

Gerwani hanya disinggung singkat: mengutip Blackburn, jutaan perempuan bergabung karena bantuan praktis seperti kursus literasi dan penitipan anak (bab 2, hlm. 207). Bab 3 (hlm. 268-269) menguraikan Gerwis (1950) yang menjadi Gerwani berpengaruh PKI (1954), Trimurti dihalangi dari kursi ketua, dan perempuan Muslim seperti S. Yati mendukungnya.

“Gerwis was founded 1950, and later became the PKI-influenced Gerwani in 1954; Trimurti was blocked by the PKI from chairing Gerwis at its 1951 conference (pp. 268-269).”
