Sexual slander and the 1965/66 mass killings in Indonesia: political and methodological considerations
This article introduces the putsch in Indonesia and the socialist women's organization Gerwani, members of which were, at the time, accused of sexual debauchery. This article assesses the implications of these events for the post-1998 period of Reformasi and reviews some recent analyses of 1965, state terrorism and violence and reveals blind spots in dealing with gender and sexual politics.
