Indonesia's Islamic Revolution
The decolonization of Indonesia, the world's most populous Muslim country, was seen by up to half of the population as a religious struggle. Utilizing a combination of oral history and archival research, Kevin W. Fogg presents a new understanding of the Indonesian revolution and of Islam as a revolutionary ideology.
Spirit Islam Pada Masa Revolusi Indonesia
Sejarah Revolusi Indonesia dipenuhi penggambaran perang revolusi sebagai perang nasionalistis atau berbasis kelas. Dalam kajian besar ini, Kevin W. Fogg meninjau ulang Revolusi Indonesia (1945-1949) sebagai perjuangan umat Islam. Dalam spirit keagamaan inilah, kaum Muslim taat—yang jumlahnya hampir separuh populasi—berperang. Mereka teryakinkan dengan seruan jihad dari ulama dan kiai bahwa mereka sedang menjalankan perang sabil melawan kaum kafir penjajah. Namun di kancah politik, para pemimpin nasional mengesampingkan unsur Islam ketika mereka merumuskan dokumen-dokumen pendirian Indonesia. Dengan cara itu, mereka menciptakan preseden revolusi yang terus berdampak pada negara sampai saat ini. Studi tentang perang anti-penjajah negeri berpenduduk Muslim terbanyak di dunia ini menunjukkan bagaimana Islam berfungsi sebagai ideologi revolusi pada era modern.negara sampai saat ini. Studi tentang perang anti-penjajah negeri berpenduduk Muslim terbanyak di dunia ini menunjukkan bagaimana Islam berfungsi sebagai ideologi revolusi pada era modern.

To the Contrary
To the Contrary contains seventeen of A. A. Navis's most provocative and engaging stories. These range from a light-hearted comedy of errors between a husband and wife to heavy-hitting critiques of corruption, patrimonialism, bureaucratic morass, and self-righteous pretension. One of the reasons that Navis's short stories have had such staying power is their biting satire that provides insight into everyday situations familiar to any reader. Although the stories are firmly rooted in West Sumatra, they speak to common problems of the modern era and shine a light on many of the cultural dilemmas that Indonesia has had to face.
Experiments with Marxism-Leninism in Cold War Southeast Asia
One of the most contentious theatres of the global conflict between capitalism and communism was Southeast Asia. From the 1920s until the end of the Cold War, the region was racked by international and internal wars that claimed the lives of millions and fundamentally altered societies in the region for generations. Most of the 11 countries that compose Southeast Asia were host to the development of sizable communist parties that actively (and sometimes violently) contested for political power. These parties were the object of fierce repression by European colonial powers, post-independence governments and the United States. Southeast Asia communist parties were also the object of a great de...
Alternative Voices in Muslim Southeast Asia
According to some observers, Southeast Asian Islam is undergoing a conservative turn. This means voices that champion humanist, progressive or moderate ideas are located on the fringes of society. Is this assessment accurate for a region that used to be known for promoting the “smiling face of Islam”? Alternative Voices in Muslim Southeast Asia examines the challenges facing progressive voices in Indonesia, Malaysia and Singapore today. It examines their discourses, which delve into how multiculturalism and secularism are the way forward for the diverse societies of these three countries. Moreover, it analyses the avenues employed by these voices in articulating their views amidst the do...

Revolusi: Indonesia and the Birth of the Modern World
Shortlisted for the Cundill History Prize • Longlisted for the Baillie Gifford Prize From the internationally best-selling writer, a masterful account of the epic revolution that sparked the decolonization of the modern world. On a sunny Friday morning in August 1945, a handful of people raised a homemade cotton flag and, on behalf of 68 million compatriots, announced the birth of a new nation. With the fourth largest population in the world, inhabiting islands that span an eighth of the globe, Indonesia became the first country to rid itself of colonial rule after World War II. In this vivid history, renowned scholar and celebrated author of Congo David Van Reybrouck captures a period of ...
Contesting Indonesia
Contesting Indonesia explains Islamist, separatist and communal violence across Indonesian history since 1945. In a sweeping argument that connects endemic violence to a national narrative, Kirsten E. Schulze finds that the outbreak of violence is related to competing local notions of the national imaginary as well as contentious belonging. Through detailed examination of six case studies: the Darul Islam rebellions, Jemaah Islamiyah's jihad, and the conflicts in East Timor, Aceh, Poso, and Ambon, Schulze argues that violence was more likely to occur in places that are on the geographic, ideological, ethnic, and religious periphery of the Indonesian state; that violence by non-state actors was most protracted in locations where there was a well-established alternative national imaginary supported by an alternative historical narrative; and that violence by the state was most likely in places where the state had a significant territorial interest. Drawing on a vast collection of interviews and archival and published sources, Contesting Indonesia provides a new understanding of the history of violence across the Indonesian archipelago.
