The Banteng and the Eagle: Indonesian Foreign Policy and the United States during the Era of Sukarno, 1945-1967
The Banteng and the Eagle: Indonesian Foreign Policy and the United States during the Era of Sukarno, 1945-1967 (PhD, 20
PhD dissertation by Yohanes Sulaiman (Ohio State, 2008) on Indonesian foreign policy and the United States under Sukarno. Gerwani appears only in a footnote on the 1965 aftermath quoting John Hughes (1967, p. 150): Gerwani women in a village blocking Sarwo Edhie's column 'bared their posteriors' in insult and were shot, with villagers, on his order. The dissertation reproduces this anecdote uncritically; it names no individual Gerwani member. Otherwise background only.
Disertasi doktoral Yohanes Sulaiman (Ohio State, 2008) tentang politik luar negeri Indonesia dan Amerika Serikat pada masa Sukarno. Gerwani hanya muncul dalam catatan kaki tentang masa sesudah 1965 yang mengutip John Hughes (1967, hlm. 150): perempuan Gerwani di sebuah desa yang menghadang kolom Sarwo Edhie 'memperlihatkan pantat' sebagai penghinaan lalu ditembak, bersama warga, atas perintahnya. Disertasi mengulang anekdot ini tanpa kritik; tidak menyebut anggota Gerwani tertentu. Selebihnya hanya latar.
“Women members of the Communist Gerwani organization danced out into the road, turned around, and bared their posteriors to the troops in a gesture of insult. (quoting Hughes 1967, p. 150, in a footnote)”
