Abstract:
The revolutionary era (1945-1949) is often narrated militarily in Indonesian historiography, so that the
role of women in the narrative tends to be excluded, when in fact, women also had an important role
in that era. On the other hand, national historiography is still become the main reference in presenting
history teaching materials. Therefore, this paper aims to analyze the text of Chapter 7 in the Indonesian
History textbook for class XI semester 2 which presents material regarding the revolutionary era,
whether the text has explained the role of women in it, or it is still militaristic while there have been
many studies on women in the Indonesian revolutionary era. By analyzing the text based on Teun A.
van Dijk's model, this paper shows that the texts presented in Chapter 7 have mentioned the role of
women in it, but overall, the text is still dominated by narratives about the heroism of male figures in
the military scope, especially Sudirman. This fact certainly requires an alternative considering the
urgency of learning today which should provide equal space for the roles of women and men in the
presentation of history learning materials. |
