The Endless Jihad
In the wake of September 11, the modern history of Afghanistan and the complex and divided structure of the Afghan society has been the subject of much discussion and analysis. This volume contributes to that debate through a compelling assessment of the processes that led to the outbreak of the civil war, the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan, and the Jihad declared by the Muslim world against the Soviet invasion. The Jihad in Afghanistan drew volunteers from all over the Muslim world, who with American aid, were consolidated into an effective fighting force that vanquished the Soviet army. Osama Bin Laden was one of the recruits to the Jihad at the end of the 1970s. As the war against the Sov...

Gender and Power in Indonesian Islam
The traditional Islamic boarding schools known as pesantren are crucial centres of Muslim learning and culture within Indonesia, but their cultural significance has been underexplored. This book is the first to explore understandings of gender and Islam in pesantren and Sufi orders in Indonesia. By considering these distinct but related Muslim gender cultures in Java, Lombok and Aceh, the book examines the broader function of pesantren as a force for both redefining existing modes of Muslim subjectivity and cultivating new ones. It demonstrates how, as Muslim women rise to positions of power and authority in this patriarchal domain, they challenge and negotiate "normative" Muslim patriarchy ...
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.
