Youth and the Wane of Soekarno's Government
Youth and the Wane of Soekarno's Government (Paget, 1970)
Roger Paget's 1970 Cornell PhD thesis on how student and youth action groups, culminating in KAMI, emerged after 1 October 1965 and helped undermine Sukarno. Gerwani appears in several passages: action fronts demanded its banning (p. 44) and its offices were ransacked (p. 63); Herlina denounced it for not fighting Malaysia (p. 107); and p. 129 treats Pemuda Rakyat and Gerwani presence at Lubang Buaya and the mutilation reports as mobilising propaganda, while calling the orgy claims flimsily substantiated.
Disertasi PhD Cornell 1970 oleh Roger Paget tentang munculnya kelompok aksi mahasiswa dan pemuda, puncaknya KAMI, setelah 1 Oktober 1965 dan perannya melemahkan Sukarno. Gerwani muncul di beberapa bagian: front aksi menuntut pembubarannya (hlm. 44) dan kantornya dirusak (hlm. 63); Herlina mengecamnya karena tidak ikut melawan Malaysia (hlm. 107); hlm. 129 membahas kehadiran Pemuda Rakyat dan Gerwani di Lubang Buaya serta laporan mutilasi sebagai propaganda penggerak massa, dan menyebut pesta seks itu kurang berdasar.
“p. 129: 'Whatever role individuals of these two PKI youth organizations [Pemuda Rakjat, Gerwani] did play... in the alleged (and flimsily substantiated) orgy of mutilations, their attendance was sufficiently incriminating.'”
