Revisiting A Struggle: Port Kembla, 1938, Rowan Cahill
Rowan Cahill
A review and discussion of the 2015 documentary film 'Pig Iron Bob' (Producer/Director Sandra Pires). The focus of this film is the dramatic 2-month long boycott by Australian waterside workers in Port Kembla (NSW), 1938/39, of a cargo of Australian pig-iron bound for Japan. The workers took their action in protest against Japanese militarism and the Sino-Japanese War. The boycott enraged the conservative Australian government of the day which pulled out all stops to maintain its policy of appeasement towards Japan.

A Genocide That Never Was: Explaining The Myth Of Anti-Chinese Massacres In Indonesia, 1965–66, Robert Cribb
Robert Cribb
Many publications refer incorrectly to extensive massacres of Chinese in Indonesia in 1965–66. Approximately half a million people were killed in this period, but the victims wereoverwhelmingly members and associates of the Indonesian Communist Party (PKI). Chinese Indonesians experienced serious harassment but relatively few were killed. The persistence of this myth is attributed to a trope dating back to the seventeenth century which equates the social position of Chinese in Indonesia with that of Jews in Europe and which thus predicts periodic pogroms and attempts at genocide.

Jakarta: Cooperation And Resistance In An Occupied City, Robert Cribb
Robert Cribb
Jakarta became Indonesia's capital upon the declaration of independence in August 1945, but the city was soon occupied by British forces, who permitted a gradual re-establishment of Dutch control. The city remained formally the capital, but the most administration moved to Yogyakarta. The Republican city hall, Balai Agung, attempted to maintain the Republic's presence. After the Dutch military action of July 1947, the Balai Agung was removed, but nationalists in Jakarta contrinued to make life difficult for Dutch authorities.
