Lubang-lubang pembantaian

Petualangan PKI di Madiun

Tiap kali mendengar kata “PKI”, asosiasi rakyat Indonesia pada umumnya niscaya terpaut pada aksi biadab kaum komunis yang diluar batas perikemanusiaan. Pernahkah Anda membayangkan seorang anggota PKI membantai ayah kandungnya sendiri yang tidak sepaham dengan golongan komunis? Buku ini mencoba merekonstruksi tragedi nasional di madiun ketika PKI di bawah pimpinan Muso, Amir Sjarifuddin dan kawan-kawan berusaha mendirikan Negara Republik Soviet Indonesia tahun 1948 yang silam. Lebih dari sekedar melukiskan kekejian PKI yang mendirikan bulu roma, buku ini pun mendiskripsikan latar belakang politik berikut keterangan saksi hidup, yakni para korban yang luput dan sejumlah pejabat militer yang terlibat dalam operasi penumpasan. Ada suatu pertanyaan menggelitik: mengapa dalam tempo yang relatif singkat pemberontakan PKI di Madiun itu gagal? Uraian yang disajikan dalam buku ini menyediakan semua jawabannya. History of the Indonesian Communist Party's revolt, Peristiwa Madiun or Madiun Affair, in East and Central Java, Sept.-Dec. 1948; previously serialized in Jawa Pos. Pengantar Penerbit DALAM SEJARAH PERJALANAN Bangsa Indonesia, kaum komunis sudah berulang kali mencoba melakukan perebutan kekuasaan melalui pemberontakan berdarah. Salah satu di antaranya adalah peristiwa yang bergolak di Madiun tahun 1948. Saat peristiwa tersebut meletus, konsentrasi segenap pemimpin dan bangsa Indonesia sedang tertumpah untuk menghadapi Agresi II Belanda. Dengan kata lain, pemberontakan PKI itu telah menikam Republik dari belakang. Isi buku ini semula dimuat sebagai seri tulisan dalam Jawa Pos sejak 18 September sampai dengan 18 Oktober 1989. Secara keseluruhan, isinya mencoba merekonstruksi tragedi nasional tersebut, yang melibatkan serangkaian wawancara dengan para saksi hidup, baik tokoh-tokoh yang turut dalam operasi penumpasan maupun para korban yang luput dari aksi pembantaian oleh kaum komunis. Sebagai suatu rekonstruksi sejarah, boleh jadi di sana-sini terlihat beberapa kekurangan. Namun begitu, buku ini paling kurang memberi sumbangan bahan yang cukup berharga mengenai sepenggal babak yang penting dalam sejarah bangsa Indonesia. Sejauh ini, buku berbahasa Indonesia yang cukup menyeluruh mengenai pemberontakan tersebut, Pertstiwa Madiun 1948 karangan Pinardi ( Jakarta: Inkopak Hazera, 1966), sekarang sudah sukar didapat Jakarta, September 1990

Ways of Wisdom

Moral Education in the Early National Period

In Ways of Wisdom, Jean Friedman traces how Jacob Mordecai and his family, German American Orthodox Jews, adopted the Anglo-Irish enlightened pedagogical system developed by Richard Lovell Edgeworth and his daughter Maria. In 1808 Mordecai founded the Warrenton Female Academy on the enlightened principles described in the Edgeworths’ guide, Practical Education, and he enlisted family members to teach and manage the school. Rachel Mordecai, inspired by her father’s progressive methods, initiated an Edgeworthian experiment in home education on her young stepsister, Eliza. Rachel’s diary, reproduced in full in Ways of Wisdom, chronicles the moral instruction of Eliza. While retaining the traditional didacticism of wisdom literature, the diary also describes Eliza’s resistance to enlightened discipline and method. Friedman’s case study bears particular importance for scholars as it qualifies and enriches our understanding of the American Enlightenment as an amalgam of religious and ethnic assumptions rather than a universal acceptance of Liberalism or Republicanism. Ways of Wisdom also offers an illuminating reinterpretation of “Republican Motherhood” as a culturally diverse and politically complicated domestic paradigm.

And like Rosamund in Edgeworth's Moral Tales, she confronted the dilemma of
adolescence, to enter society but not be drawn into its passions and idleness.
Eliza enlivened Wilmington society throughout the 1823-24 season. '' ...

The History of an Islamic School of Law

The Early Spread of Hanafism

The Hanafi school of law is one of the oldest legal schools of Islam, coming into existence in the eighth century in Iraq, and surviving up to the present. So closely is the early development of the Hanafi school interwoven with non-legal spheres, such as the political, social, and theological, that the study of it is essential to a proper understanding of medieval Islamic history. Using rich material drawn mainly from medieval Islamic biographical dictionaries, Nurit Tsafrir offers a thorough examination of the first century and a half of the school's existence, the period during which it took shape. She provides a detailed account of the process by which the school attracted ever more followers and spread over vast geographical areas in the Islamic world empire. The book makes an important contribution to our understanding of the history of this influential school of law in the broader context of Islamic history. The History of an Islamic School of Law: The Early Spread of Hanafism will be of interest to all those concerned with early and medieval Isalmic history, the history of Islamic schools of law, legal history, and the social history of classical Islam.
