The Crescent Arises over the Banyan Tree: A Study of the Muhammadijah Movement in a Central Javanese Town
The Crescent Arises over the Banyan Tree: Muhammadiyah in a Central Javanese Town (Nakamura, 1976)
Mitsuo Nakamura's 1976 Cornell PhD thesis, an ethnography and local history of the Muhammadiyah reform movement in Kotagede, Yogyakarta, arguing that Islamization of Java is an ongoing, internally generated process. Gerwani appears only in passing (p. 208), listed with Pemuda Rakyat and Lekra as PKI-influenced mass organisations in Kotagede in the early 1960s. Women's matters appear only through Aisjijah (Muhammadiyah's women's wing), Kartini and Wanito Utomo.
Disertasi PhD Cornell 1976 oleh Mitsuo Nakamura, etnografi dan sejarah lokal gerakan pembaruan Muhammadiyah di Kotagede, Yogyakarta, yang berargumen bahwa Islamisasi Jawa adalah proses berkelanjutan yang tumbuh dari dalam. Gerwani hanya disebut sekilas (hlm. 208), bersama Pemuda Rakyat dan Lekra, sebagai organisasi massa yang dipengaruhi PKI di Kotagede pada awal 1960-an. Soal perempuan hanya muncul lewat Aisyiyah, Kartini, dan Wanito Utomo.
“p. 208: PKI influence in Kotagede grew in other mass organisations: youth (Pemuda Rakjat), women (Gerwani) and culture (Lekra), whose ketoprak/wayang activity made the era remembered as 'Djaman Ketoprak'.”
