Chinese Policy in Indonesia, 1949-1967

Chinese Policy in Indonesia, 1949-1967 (Mozingo, 1973)

Open file in Google DriveRead full text

PhD dissertation (Political Science, UCLA, 1973) by David Paul Mozingo on Chinese policy toward Indonesia, 1949-1967, arguing it was an extension of united-front strategy and was undone by the 1965 coup. Its only reference to Gerwani is one sentence in the chapter on the coup (pp. 258-259): young men and women from the PKI-controlled Gerwani and Pemuda Rakjat, trained at Halim, played a minor role but fatally implicated the PKI. Otherwise it says nothing on Gerwani or women.

Disertasi doktor (Ilmu Politik, UCLA, 1973) oleh David Paul Mozingo tentang kebijakan Tiongkok terhadap Indonesia 1949-1967, yang berargumen bahwa kebijakan itu perpanjangan strategi front persatuan dan dihancurkan oleh kudeta 1965. Gerwani hanya disebut satu kalimat dalam bab tentang kudeta (hlm. 258-259): pemuda dan perempuan dari Gerwani dan Pemuda Rakjat yang dikendalikan PKI, dilatih di Halim, berperan kecil namun menyeret PKI. Selebihnya tidak membahas Gerwani atau perempuan.

“Plotters used 'a small number of young men and women drawn from the PKI-controlled organizations, Gerwani and Pemuda Rakjat'; they 'played a minor role in the coup' but 'fatally implicated the PKI' (pp. 258-259).”
