Desenterrar el pasado. La masacre de los comunistas de Indonesia en 1965
Barra lateral del artículo
Contenido principal del artículo
Resumen
Este artículo pretende difundir en el mundo académico local las actitudes negacionistas e interpretaciones distorsivas que las agencias estatales e historiadores norteamericanos impusieron sobre la matanza de más de medio millón de simpatizantes del Partido Comunista de Indonesia (PKI), perpetrada por la dictadura del general Suharto entre octubre de 1965 y marzo de 1966. Describe el proceso de descolonización de Indonesia guiado por Ahmed Sukarno y las reacciones desestabilizadoras de los Estados Unidos que terminaron instigando y apañando la masacre. Analiza el largo silenciamiento impuesto a los hechos por los gobiernos posteriores, las narrativas amañadas de los acontecimientos prohijadas en la era Suharto y el rol de la historiografía crítica que esclareció las circunstancias y artífices de los sucesos. Reflexiona, finalmente, acerca de la posibilidad de considerar a la matanza de 1965 como un método, “el Método Yakarta”, auspiciado por los gobiernos norteamericanos en otras regiones del mundo.
