Open file in Google DriveRead full text

Edited volume (KITLV Press, Leiden, 2012) by Jennifer Lindsay and Maya H.T. Liem on Indonesian culture and its international links, 1950-65. Gerwani appears only in passing: Michael Bodden's chapter on Lekra theatre says Gerwani, like Lekra and CGMI, was pressed by the PKI in 1964 to declare itself communist (p. 470, citing Wieringa) and lists Gerwani among the groups in the PKI's 45th-anniversary dance-drama 'Djajalah partai dan negeri' (May 1965; pp. 446, 475). Mia Bustam appears only as a cited source (Sudjojono dan aku, p. 212).

Buku suntingan (KITLV Press, Leiden, 2012) oleh Jennifer Lindsay dan Maya H.T. Liem tentang budaya Indonesia dan hubungan internasionalnya, 1950-65. Gerwani hanya muncul sambil lalu: bab Michael Bodden tentang teater Lekra menyebut Gerwani, seperti Lekra dan CGMI, ditekan PKI pada 1964 agar menyatakan diri komunis (hlm. 470, mengutip Wieringa) dan mencantumkan Gerwani di antara kelompok pada sendratari HUT ke-45 PKI 'Djajalah partai dan negeri' (Mei 1965; hlm. 446, 475). Mia Bustam hanya muncul sebagai sumber kutipan (Sudjojono dan aku, hlm. 212).

“the women's organization, Gerakan Wanita Indonesia (Gerwani) came under much the same pressure at this time (p. 470)”
