Sedjarah Modern Indonesia (teks kuliah stensilan, Pramoedya Ananta Toer, 1964)

Modern Indonesian History: stencilled lecture text (Pramoedya Ananta Toer, 1964)

Open file in Google DriveRead full text

Stencilled lecture text, 'Sedjarah Modern Indonesia' (1964), by Pramoedya Ananta Toer for a literature faculty course (cover bears 'Res Publica'); OCR is very noisy. Introduction (pp. 2-5) defines 'history', 'modern' and 'Indonesia' from a Marxist-nationalist view; later chapters treat Dutch colonial exploitation, assimilation and Budi Utomo. It never mentions Gerwani or Gerwis; the only women's content is early 20th-century (Kartini, first women's organisations c. 1912, women voting in village elections, Poetri Hindia), pp. 59-85, 93.

Teks kuliah stensilan 'Sedjarah Modern Indonesia' (1964) oleh Pramoedya Ananta Toer untuk fakultas sastra (sampul memuat 'Res Publica'); OCR sangat berisik. Pendahuluan (hlm. 2-5) mendefinisikan 'sejarah', 'modern' dan 'Indonesia' dari sudut pandang Marxis-nasionalis; bab-bab berikutnya membahas eksploitasi kolonial Belanda, asimilasi dan Budi Utomo. Teks tidak menyebut Gerwani atau Gerwis; muatan tentang perempuan hanya dari awal abad ke-20 (Kartini, organisasi perempuan pertama sekitar 1912, perempuan desa memilih, Poetri Hindia), hlm. 59-85, 93.

“Early women's organisations (c. 1912, Budi Utomo-linked and Kartini Vereeniging in Semarang) and village women voting for the first time in a lurah election (pp. 59-85); no Gerwani content.”
