Islam After Liberalism
Leading scholars discuss how 'Islam' and 'liberalism' have been entwined historically and politically and how Muslims have thought about this longstanding relationship.
The Madrasa in Asia
Summary: "Since the rise of the Taliban and Al Qaeda, the traditional Islamic schools known as the madrasa have frequently been portrayed as hotbeds of terrorism. For much longer, the madrasa has been considered by some as a backward and petrified impediment to social progress. However, for an important segment of the poor Muslim populations of Asia, madrasas constitute the only accessible form of education. This volume presents an overview of the madrasas in countries such as China, Indonesia, Malayisia, India and Pakistan."--Publisher description.
Islam in Indonesia
A compelling account of the struggle for the soul of Indonesian Islam.
"I Come from a Pancasila Family"
This book examines social identity transformations through interreligious relations in post-Reformasi Indonesia. It answers two questions: how do Muslims and Christians identify and position themselves and others; and what are the socio-cognitive effects of their identification and positioning? The objectives are, first, to gain insight into the relation between religious discourse and (the lack of) social cohesion, and, second, to contribute to a theory and method of studying interreligious relations. The study is based on 24 focus group discussions in Surakarta (Central Java), making a critical discourse analysis of them. The book concludes that the interviewees use various classifications to identify and position themselves and others, although these are not fixed but fluid, depending on specific situations and interests. The book advocates for a shift from the 'social identity' theory to a 'multiple identity' theory for studying religion and interreligious relations. (Series: Interreligious Studies - Vol. 6)

Contemporary Islamic Discourse in the Malay-Indonesian World
While many books have probed the role of Islam in political and social change in Southeast Asia over the past three decades, few have focused on the power of the religious discourse itself in shaping this transformation. Contemporary Islamic Discourse in the Malay–Indonesian World captures the interplay between religion and social thought in comparative case studies from Malaysia, Indonesia and Singapore. Drawing on a critical sociology of knowledge and a profound understanding of historical contexts, the central focus is on Muslim intellectuals who have grappled with the impact of modernity in these societies, between those seeking to reform Islam’s role and those who take a hardline de...

Riots, Pogroms, Jihad
In October 2002 a bomb blast in a Balinese nightclub killed more than two hundred people, many of them young Australian tourists. This event and subsequent attacks on foreign targets in Bali and Jakarta in 2003, 2004, and 2005 brought Indonesia into the global media spotlight as a site of Islamist terrorist violence. Yet the complexities of political and religious struggles in Indonesia, the most populous Muslim country in the world, remain little known and poorly understood in the West. In Riots, Pogroms, Jihad, John T. Sidel situates these terrorist bombings and other "jihadist" activities in Indonesia against the backdrop of earlier episodes of religious violence in the country, including...
Reformdenken indonesischer Muslime in der era Reformasi
Die im frühen 20. Jahrhundert in Indonesien begründeten Organisationen Muhammadiyya und Nahdlatul Ulama zählen mit jeweils ca. 35 Millionen Anhängern zu den größten muslimischen Organisationen der Gegenwart. Dyah Ayu Krismawati stellt namhafte Reformdenker/innen beider Organisationen unter der Frage vor, welche Begründungsmuster zu den Themen Religionsfreiheit und Religionswechsel von diesen entwickelt werden. Der Blick auch auf deren diskursive Gegner lässt erkennen, dass diese Fragen weiterhin hoch umstritten und von hoher Relevanz für die gegenwärtige Gesellschaft Indonesien sind.
Agama dan Pendidikan Demokrasi
Muhamadiyah dan NU adalah kekuatan non-negara, kekuatan masyarakat sipil Islam yang otoritatif, berhadapan dengan kekuatan negara. Di pihak lain, negara juga berharap banyak pada kekuatan kedua organisasi massa itu untuk terlibat dalam proses demokratisasi dalam masa transisi seperti saat ini. Peran kedua ormas tersebut pada faktanya memang tak bisa diremehkan. Kekuatan moral dan intelektual menjadi modal sosial yang lebih dari cukup untuk membangun kesadaran politik pada tingkat publik di satu pihak, dan untuk menjaga kohesivitas antar-elemen masyarakat di pihak yang lain. Buku ini mencoba melihat secara lebih detail pergulatan kelembagaan maupun individu di dalam Muhammadiyah dan NU dalam ...
