KAMI : kebangkitan angkatan 66 [KAMI : rise of the ’66 generation] (Padang : Srana Dwipa, 1966)
KAMI is short for Kesatuan Aksi Mahasiswa Indonesia (Indonesian University Students Action Front), a student organisation that supported the ascent of Suharto and the ‘New Order’ in demonstrations and other actions following the abortive coup of September 1965 and contributed to the destabilisation and eventual ousting of Sukarno by Suharto. The slogans on the front cover read: ‘Crush sycophancy’, ‘Wipe out the mental yes-men’, ‘KAMI demands justice and truth’, ‘Carry out the people’s three demands’. The latter were: banning the Communist Party, purging communist elements from the cabinet, and lowering the price of basic commodities.
