New Kendedes; Dangdut Koplo, Perempuan dan Ekonomi Kreatif

Rather than the male-dominated, exploitative recording and performing industries I'd expected, I found that the dangdut industry is full of powerful women: producers, managers, MCs, radio hosts, fan clubs, and instrumentalists. In dangdut koplo industries, as in much of political and economic life in Java, women are more strongly represented in positions of power in comparison with the US.
