  • George Mcturnan Kahin, 1918-2000
    George McTurnan Kahin, 1918-2000 The following tributes were composed by members of the Southeast Asia Program, Cornell University, in honor of George Kahin. The eulogies by Stanley J. O'Connor and Thak Chaloemtiarana were delivered at the memorial service for George Kahin, February 4, 2000, Ithaca, NY. Benedict Anderson's tribute was delivered at the Celebration of the Life of George McTurnan Kahin, May 6, 2000, Ithaca, NY. George Kahin was a national figure, and his life and career are being recounted in major newspapers. Of this there will be much telling abroad as well. But our loss is local and felt deeply. He was the bedrock on which many of us based our professional lives. We have all been touched by his warmth, his kindness, and made better by his example of courage, integrity, and his patient devotion to our corporate life. His passing brings a chill blast of mortality, a keen apprehension of the fragility of life and the tenuousness of the threads that bind us to each other. I would remind you that a tree was planted in George's honor at the center of the university—out on the contained immensity of the Arts Quadrangle. Today, its wet black branches are bare, but burgeoning life will return with the spring. And, across the Quadrangle, the library, with shelves stretching in the deep structure of its orders, fills silently with Southeast Asian witness, a consequence, in part, of George's advocacy and stewardship with Program funds. Many more books will flow out of the quiet labor now underway at the Kahin Center for Advanced Research on Southeast Asia.

  • State and Revolution in the Making of the Indonesian Republic
    Jurnal Sejarah. Vol. 2(1), 2018: 64 – 76 © Pengurus Pusat Masyarakat Sejarawan Indonesia https://doi.org/10.26639/js.v%vi%i.117 State and Revolution in the Making of the Indonesian Republic Norman Joshua Northwestern University Abstract While much ink has been spilled in the effort of explaining the Indonesian National Revolution, major questions remain unanswered. What was the true character of the Indonesian revolution, and when did it end? This article builds a case for viewing Indonesia’s revolution from a new perspective. Based on a revisionist reading of classic texts on the Revolution, I argue that the idea of a singular, elite-driven and Java-centric "revolution" dismisses the central meaning of the revolution itself, as it was simultaneously national and regional in scope, political and social in character, and it spanned more than the five years as it was previously examined. Keywords: Revolution, regionalism, elite-driven, Java-centric Introduction In his speech to Indonesian Marhaenist youth leaders in front of the Istana Negara on December 20, 1966, President Soekarno claimed that “[The Indonesian] revolution is not over!”1 Soekarno’s proposition calls attention to at least two different perspectives on revolution. On the one hand, the Indonesian discourse of a continuous revolution resonates with other permanent leftist revolutions elsewhere, such as the Cultural Revolution in Maoist China, Cuban Revolution in Castroist Cuba, or the Bolivarian 1 Soekarno, Revolusi belum selesai: kumpulan pidato Presiden Soekarno, 30 September 1965, pelengkap Nawaksara, ed.

Bungay, Suffol\ To LEORA, DIANA, and SEEGLA whose generation must not be indifferent to the fate of Asia and her peoples INTRODUCTION ASIA has various meanings. To some it is a geographical expression, the and largest most populous of the continents. And so it is, with 17 million miles square and if billion people, covering one-third of the earth's surface and nearly two-thirds of mankind. Other think of people Asia as the home of the great religions. This image, too, is well-grounded in fact, as revealed by a glance around the 'Rimland'. From South-West Asia, better known as the Near or East Middle East, came Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. India gave the world Hinduism and Buddhism, while China contributed a Confucianism, really philosophy with the power of religion, and Japan added Shinto. No wonder that Westerners talk about the mystical and spiritual East. If one adds to the list such faiths as Zoroastrianism, the religion of the Persians before the coming of Islam, Sikhism and Jainism in India, Taoism in China, and Lamaism, a form of Buddhism in High Asia, along with a host of less sophisticated beliefs, the spiritual image becomes almost a self- evident truth.

  • JOHN FOSTER DULLES PAPERS PERSONNEL SERIES The
    JOHN FOSTER DULLES PAPERS PERSONNEL SERIES The Personnel Series, consisting of approximately 17,900 pages, is comprised of three subseries, an alphabetically arranged Chiefs of Mission Subseries, an alphabetically arranged Special Liaison Staff Subseries and a Chronological Subseries. The entire series focuses on appointments and evaluations of ambassadors and other foreign service personnel and consideration of political appointees for various posts. The series is an important source of information on the staffing of foreign service posts with African- Americans, Jews, women, and individuals representing various political constituencies. Frank assessments of the performances of many chiefs of mission are found here, especially in the Chiefs of Mission Subseries and much of the series reflects input sought and obtained by Secretary Dulles from his staff concerning the political suitability of ambassadors currently serving as well as numerous potential appointees. While the emphasis is on personalities and politics, information on U.S. relations with various foreign countries can be found in this series. The Chiefs of Mission Subseries totals approximately 1,800 pages and contains candid assessments of U.S. ambassadors to certain countries, lists of chiefs of missions and indications of which ones were to be changed, biographical data, materials re controversial individuals such as John Paton Davies, Julius Holmes, Wolf Ladejinsky, Jesse Locker, William D. Pawley, and others, memoranda regarding Leonard Hall and political patronage, procedures for selecting career and political candidates for positions, discussions of “most urgent problems” for ambassadorships in certain countries, consideration of African-American appointees, comments on certain individuals’ connections to Truman Administration, and lists of personnel in Secretary of State’s office.

Forehand, Ph.D., Dean of the Graduate College Abstract This thesis examines the history of Indonesian nationalism over the course of the twentieth century. In this thesis, I argue that the country’s two main political leaders of the twentieth century, Presidents Sukarno (1945-1967) and Suharto (1967-1998) manipulated nationalist ideology to enhance and extend their executive powers. The thesis begins by looking at the ways that the nationalist movement originated during the final years of the Dutch East Indies colonial period.

  • Southeast Asia
    Southeast Asia George McTurnan Kahin was a pioneering scholar of Southeast Asian history and politics, and US foreign policy. His book offers a unique perspective on American involvement in Southeast Asia, from the 1940s to the 1970s. A biting critique of postwar American policy towards the area, it also provides an enthralling account of the author’s personal experiences in revolutionary Indonesia and Vietnam, and of his attempts to bring US policy into accord with Southeast Asian realities. Southeast Asia: A testament ranges from postwar Indonesia through the Vietnam War and the Cambodian War. Drawing both on his personal expe- rience and on multiple archival sources, Kahin recounts the history of Indonesia’s successful struggle against the Dutch down to Suharto’s bloody overthrow of Sukarno in 1965. It also gives a personal view of the US involvement in Indochina, where George Kahin was an early critic of the Vietnam War and struggled to open the eyes of policy makers to the histor- ical, political, and military realities of the Vietnamese situation. Kahin also witnessed the reluctant involvement of Cambodia in the conflict, and the 1970 coup against Prince Sihanouk, which paved the way for the Communist accession to power. This book will be of interest to students of American diplomatic and foreign policy, Asian studies, and international relations. It is an engagingly written, often poignant, personal account of George Kahin’s experiences in Southeast Asia and, as such, will also appeal to the general reader. George McT. Kahin was Professor Emeritus of International Politics at Cornell University. His books on Indonesia include Nationalism and Revolution in Indonesia (1952) and Subversion as Foreign Policy (1995).

  • The Johnson Treatment: Cold War Food Aid and the Politics of Gratitude
    THE JOHNSON TREATMENT: COLD WAR FOOD AID AND THE POLITICS OF GRATITUDE A THESIS IN History Presented to the Faculty of the University of Missouri-Kansas City in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree MASTER OF ARTS By MARC ANTHONY REYES B.A. University of Missouri-Columbia, 2006 Kansas City, Missouri THE JOHNSON TREATMENT: COLD WAR FOOD AID AND THE POLITICS OF GRATITUDE Marc Anthony Reyes, Candidate for the Master of Arts Degree University of Missouri – Kansas City, 2014 ABSTRACT In 1966, President Lyndon Baines Johnson declared, “India is a good and deserving friend. Let it never be said that bread should be so dear, and flesh and blood so cheap that we turned in indifference from her bitter need.” The sweeping presidential rhetoric did not match the record. While Johnson promised India vital U.S. food aid to combat a worsening famine, he also bristled at Prime Minister Indira Gandhi’s public criticism of the U.S. military escalation in Vietnam. In this context, he ordered a review of American economic and agricultural assistance to India and pushed ahead with the implementation of the “short tether” policy – placing authorization of U.S. food aid shipments to India on a month-to- month basis, and making future deliveries contingent on the Government of India’s adoption of market mechanisms and modern technical inputs including pesticides, fertilizers, and mechanized irrigation to increase the nation’s food production – a strategy based on the U.S. agribusiness model. While surplus U.S. grains, made available to India and other nations through the “Food for Peace” program, provided relief to low-income, urban populations, this master’s thesis, drawing extensively on documents from the Lyndon B.
