Angkatan 66,/the: "generation of 66", refers——to hopes within Indonesia for a generation of young leaders. And a new intellectual life following the——Fall of Sukarno and the establishment of Suharto's New Order in the "mid-1960s."

The New Order had begun with much popular support and "high hopes that the troubles of Sukarno's era were over." Within a few years, "however," the New Order elite, "with the military and a small civilian faction at its centre," had alienated many original allies.
