Debur Zaman, kumpulan Cerpen Putu Oka Sukanta, dalam mengarungi tiga zaman: yaitu di masa reformasi, di masa Orde Baru berkuasa dan di masa Orde Demokrasi Terpimpin.
Despite being a major player in the ending of Soeharto's New Order regime in 1998, today the Indonesian pro-democracy movement is a marginal force in Indonesian politics and the process of reformasi is in the hands of other (elite) forces. Accordingly, there are some who now question if the quest to establish what would have been the world's third largest democracy is now a lost cause. This book represents a unique joint effort by concerned scholars and reflective activists to review and analyze the character, problems, and options facing the Indonesian pro-democracy movement. It is the first study to analyze why the pro-democracy movement failed to capitalize on its earlier successes and today is marginalized.
Political crimes and violence during the New Order era in Indonesia.

In 1996, poet and activist Wiji Thukul bid his wife goodbye and disappeared for good. Prior to Suharto’s step-down in 1998, arrests, abductions, detention and torture of activists increased. But while some were later freed, others like Thukul never came back. With so many victims still missing and no one held accountable for the atrocities, this special edition reminds us that the culture of impunity is alive and well. The case of Wiji Thukul illustrates just how far we still have to go to reach the ideal of a true democracy.
