Millions of Javanese peasants live alongside state-controlled forest lands in one of the world's most densely populated agricultural regions. Because their legal access and customary rights to the forest have been severely limited, these peasants have been pushed toward illegal use of forest resources. Rich Forests, Poor People untangles the complex of peasant and state politics that has developed in Java over three centuries. Drawing on historical materials and intensive field research, including two contemporary case studies, Peluso presents the story of the forest and its people. Without major changes in forest policy, Peluso contends, the situation is portentous. Economic, social, and political costs to the government will increase. Development efforts will by stymied and forest destruction will continue. Mindful that a dramatic shift is unlikely, Peluso suggests how tension between foresters and villagers can be alleviated while giving peasants a greater stake in local forest management.

Exploring the distinctive nature and role of local pilgrimage traditions among Muslims and Catholics, Muslim and Catholic Pilgrimage Practices draws particularly on south central Java, Indonesia. In this area, the hybrid local Muslim pilgrimage culture is shaped by traditional Islam, the Javano-Islamic sultanates, and the Javanese culture with its strong Hindu-Buddhist heritage. This region is also home to a vibrant Catholic community whose identity formation has occurred in a way that involves complex engagements with Islam as well as Javanese culture. In this respect, local pilgrimage tradition presents itself as a rich milieu in which these complex engagements have been taking place between Islam, Catholicism, and Javanese culture. Employing a comparative theological and phenomenological analysis, this book reveals the deeper religio-cultural and theological import of pilgrimage practice in the identity formation and interaction among Muslims and Catholics in south central Java. In a wider context, it also sheds light on the larger dynamics of the complex encounter between Islam, Christianity and local cultures.

Sepanjang karier intelektualnya, KH. Abdurrahman Wahid (Gus Dur) tidak pernah menulis satu buku utuh yang secara khusus diperuntukkan sebagai eksposisi atas pemikiran-pemikiran genuine-nya. Karya-karyanya, yang hampir seluruhnya berupa artikel, pun tidak memiliki pretensi ambisius untuk membangun sebuah sistem teori. Sebagai guru bangsa, Gus Dur hanya bergulat dengan seabrek problematika umat dan berupaya membimbing mereka agar tetap berada di rel yang benar, dan khusus untuk model keberagamaan umat Islam Indonesia, ia namai rel itu sebagai “Islam pribumi”. Hasil pemikirannya ini telah menjadi salah satu cabang dari disiplin ilmu Islamic studies, yakni “Islam dan budaya lokal”, yang ...
