Gus Dur
In October 1999, Abdurrahman Wahid, almost blind and recovering from a nearfatal stroke, was elected as Indonesia's fourth president. Referred to as 'Indonesia's surprising new president' by the Economist, the man who had commanded the highest respect of his fellow countrymen for his lifetime devotion to public service, liberal democracy and tolerant Islam, was impeached in humiliating and controversial circumstances less than two years later. Wise to some, insolent to others, Abdurrahman's mercurial style of leadership constantly confounded critics and ultimately caused him to be widely misunderstood by both domestic and international observers. For the first time, biographer Greg Barton delves beneath the surface and gives us a unique insight into the man and his world drawn from his long relationship with Gus Dur - including being at his side during the final extraordinary months of the presidency. Those interested in the drama of modern Indonesian politics will find this book provides a fascinating and invaluable account of the enigmatic Gus Dur.

A Study of the Religio-Political Thought of Abdurrahman Wahid

He has nevertheless well-grounded and sustained worldview dealing with the current malaise of Muslims world particularly Indonesian Islam. Despite his rigorous insights of reforming Islam, the agenda of Islamic awakening would destine to fail had we failed to attend to the epistemological groundings of the awakening attempts and his is no exception of which this book attempts to address. The book tries to shed light and engage with his religio-political thought thereby providing significant contribution in shaping future Islamic awakening in both Indonesia and Muslim world. However, it is may worthwhile for academia, politicians and general readers interested in the landscapes and development of Islamic thought in Indonesia.
The Wisdom of Tolerance
What do Buddhism and Islam have in common? And what positive characteristics might Buddhist Japan and Muslim Indonesia be able to offer one another? In this thoughtful and wide-ranging discussion which draws on creative artists and thinkers as diverse as Beethoven, Goethe, Tolstoy, Thomas Jefferson and Akira Kurosawa distinguished representatives from each country demonstrate that meaningful dialogue between religions and cultures begins with a one-to-one conversation between individuals. Addressing the similarities of their nations as island peoples, with a shared history of trade and cultural exchange, Abdurrahman Wahid and Daisaku Ikeda agree that the aim of dialogue, like that of Buddhis...
