Keeping Hope Seeing Indonesia's Past From The Edges
INDONESIA, as you can see and feel every day, is a nation of interesting paradoxes. It comprises of more than sixteen thousand islands with hundreds of ethnic and linguistic communities, but it is one nation with one official language. It is the largest Muslim-majority country in the world, but it is governed under a democratic system, and it is one of the largest democracies on the planet. It is a nation known for being rich in natural resources since colonial times, but until recently refined oil and gas are imported. It is an island-nation surrounded by sea water, but for its daily consumption of salt the country said to be importing from other countries. In its early days Indonesia decla...
Asian Feminist Biblical Studies : Perspectives and Methods
Groundbreaking and inspiring, this book offers a comprehensive and up-to-date overview of Asian feminist biblical criticism. It is a gift to the Asian churches and to the theological community. I highly recommend it to all who search for biblical insights to empower women and men to work for justice. --- Kwok Pui-lan, Dean’s Professor of Systematic Theology at Candler School of Theology, Emory University This is a superb collection of the different approaches of feminist biblical scholars in Asia. I found it invigorating and thought-provoking to learn about the multiple ways in which Asian feminists made their "exodus" from Western biblical studies to interpret this foundational text in their own unique contexts. --- Gale A. Yee, Nancy W. King Professor of Biblical Studies Emerita, Episcopal Divinity School This collection of essays by mostly younger Asian biblical scholars is a welcome addition to a small but growing body of Asian feminist studies. The diversity of perspectives, methodologies and creative interpretations makes it an ideal introductory text for anyone wishing to learn more about Asian feminism. --- Simon Chan, Editor, Asia Journal of Theology
Infrastructures of Impunity
In Infrastructures of Impunity Elizabeth F. Drexler argues that the creation and persistence of impunity for the perpetrators of the Cold War Indonesian genocide (1965–66) is not only a legal status but also a cultural and social process. Impunity for the initial killings and for subsequent acts of political violence has many elements: bureaucratic, military, legal, political, educational, and affective. Although these elements do not always work at once—at times some are dormant while others are ascendant—together they can be described as a unified entity, a dynamic infrastructure, whose existence explains the persistence of impunity. For instance, truth telling, a first step in many responses to state violence, did not undermine the infrastructure but instead bent to it. Creative and artistic responses to revelations about the past, however, have begun to undermine the infrastructure by countering its temporality, affect, and social stigmatization and demonstrating its contingency and specific actions, policies, and processes that would begin to dismantle it. Drexler contends that an infrastructure of impunity could take hold in an established democracy.
The Killing Season
The definitive account of one of the twentieth century’s most brutal, yet least examined, episodes of genocide and detention The Killing Season explores one of the largest and swiftest, yet least examined, instances of mass killing and incarceration in the twentieth century—the shocking antileftist purge that gripped Indonesia in 1965–66, leaving some five hundred thousand people dead and more than a million others in detention. An expert in modern Indonesian history, genocide, and human rights, Geoffrey Robinson sets out to account for this violence and to end the troubling silence surrounding it. In doing so, he sheds new light on broad, enduring historical questions. How do we account for instances of systematic mass killing and detention? Why are some of these crimes remembered and punished, while others are forgotten? Based on a rich body of primary and secondary sources, The Killing Season is the definitive account of a pivotal period in Indonesian history.
Unmarked Graves
The anti-communist violence that swept across Indonesia in 1965–66 produced a particularly high death toll in East Java. It also transformed the lives of hundreds of thousands of survivors, who faced decades of persecution, imprisonment and violence. In this book, Vannessa Hearman examines the human cost and community impact of the violence on people from different sides of the political divide. Her major contribution is an examination of the experiences of people on the political Left. Drawing on interviews, archival records, and government and military reports, she traces the lives of a number of individuals, following their efforts to build a base for resistance in the South Blitar area...
The Palgrave Handbook of Anti-Communist Persecutions
This handbook explores anti-communism as an overarching phenomenon of twentieth-century global history, showing how anti-communist policies and practices transformed societies around the world. It advances research on anti-communism by looking beyond ideologies and propaganda to uncover how these ideas were put into practice. Case studies examine the role of states and non-state actors in anti-communist persecutions, and cover a range of topics, including social crises, capitalist accumulation and dispossession, political clientelism and warfare. Through its comparative perspective, the handbook reveals striking similarities between different cases from various world regions and highlights t...
BISA DENGAR SUARA SAYA?
BISA DENGAR SUARA SAYA? merupakan buku hasil kerjasama STT Aletheia dan kelompok diskusi interdispliner Synoptic. Sesuai dengan topik-topik yang dibahas, sudah bisa ditebak bahwa tulisan-tulisan yang terbit ini dihasilkan pada masa pandemi Covid-19. Kalimat tanya dalam judul “Bisa Dengar Suara Saya?” adalah pertanyaan umum yang sering diucapkan tatkala mengecek jaringan audio daring. Keberadaan “suara” bisa saja dianggap sebagai noise atau gangguan sehingga harus secepatnya di-mute, matikan ketika masih rapat, kelas, atau seminar online. Namun, secara simbolis dipakai dalam bunga rampai ini untuk mengingatkan kita bersama bahwa suara-suara itu tidak selamanya terbungkam, dia memiliki kekuatan untuk menyeruak menembus batas-batas yang ada. Ruang isolasi dan “kontrol host” bukanlah penghalang untuk menghasilkan karya, bersuara secara jernih bagi Indonesia.
Menyuarakan yang Tak Terdengar: Pemikiran, Agensi, dan Gerakan Perempuan Dibalik Lembar Kitab Suci
Kata-kata terkenal dari Dr. Martin Luther King Jr pada bulan Maret 1968, hampir sebulan sebelum dia dibunuh pada tanggal 4 April, Dr. King, seorang pendeta Baptis Amerika, yang dikenal sebagai juru bicara dan pemimpin terkemuka dalam gerakan hakhak sipil di AS, mengatakan hal tersebut bukan karena dia mendukung aksi pemberontakan yang kejam, tidak, karena pada kenyataannya, dia sangat menentang berbagai Tindakan kerusuhan. Ungkapan tersebut dikatakannya karena di saat itu, bagi mereka yang hak-hak sipilnya dicabut, maka tidak ada satu tempat pun yang bisa mendengarkan suara mereka, atau bahkan mendapat perhatian, baik dari pemerintah maupun dari masyarakat. Sejatinya, kita juga hidup dalam s...
Kristen, Sang Pembawa Damai?
“Buku ini memperlihatkan pada kita sikap orang-orang Kristen yang cenderung mendukung perang dan kekerasan di panggung sejarah global dan nasional. Hari ini kita dapat menutup wajah dan menyangkalinya namun kita tak pernah bisa menghapus sejarah. Buku penting ini menolong kita belajar mengenali sejarah yang demikian dan merekonstruksi sikap Kristiani untuk lebih teguh berpihak pada perdamaian, keadilan, dan keutuhan ciptaan.” Pdt. Dr. Mery Kolimon - Ketua MS GMIT, Editor "Memori-Memori Terlarang Perempuan Korban & Penyintas Tragedi ’65 Di Nusa Tenggara Timur" "Manusia cenderung terjebak dalam perperangan ketika dihadapi dengan konflik dan kepentingan. Protestantisme yang diyakini terba...
