Descriere

This is the first book to consider the experiences of women survivors of the 1965 anti-communist violence in the majority Christian region of Eastern Indonesia. So far, most studies of the 1965 violence have focused on the Muslim majority population of Java and the Hindu majority population of Bali. Forbidden Memories presents stories from across the regions of Sumba, Sabu, Alor, Kupang and other parts of West Timor of women who were imprisoned and tortured or whose husbands were murdered. The book comprises a critical examination of the role of the Protestant Church at the time of the violence and, in its aftermath, the ongoing sanctions and political purges against those considered to be supporters of the Indonesian Communist Party. The writers argue that religious and state institutions failed to care for this vulnerable community in the face of state terrorism and a culture of fear. The editors and research team hope this publication will create a safe and peaceful environment for survivors to tell their stories and have their stories acknowledged by their society.

Recenzii

I am very appreciative and amazed at the work that has gone into this book; such a complete study from the perspective of victims, especially women victims. What is very interesting is how the church participated in the violence, or at least did not prevent the violence from occurring. It adds to our knowledge about the impact of the political turmoil after the military coup by Suharto and his accomplices, and how the anti-PKI campaign has ruined many lives without them knowing why or what really happened.
The case studies in this report reveal a great deal of new knowledge. As far as I know, this is the first study on the subject conducted by a Christian church in Indonesia – Catholic or Protestant… It is therefore of utmost urgency that this book is distributed as widely as possible. Studies such as this can lead to related initiatives in memorialisation, reparations and education.
