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...
Hizbut Tahrir Indonesia and Political Islam
This book offers a timely examination of Hizbut Tahrir Indonesia (HTI), a chapter of the transnational movement Hizb ut-Tahrir (HT), whose key aim is the revival of the caliphate. It cautions against an overly simplistic read of a group like HTI and political Islam in Indonesia. While there is much to laud, particularly with regard to how leaders in Indonesia have attempted to counteract Islamist extremism, insofar as the trajectory of non-violent Islamism in Indonesia is concerned there are clear reasons for apprehension. Groups like the HTI have been adept at using the democratic space in Indonesia to propound their illiberal objectives, including encouraging the curtailment of Indonesian ...
Islamism in Indonesia
The fall of President Soeharto in May 1998 and the introduction of multi-party democracy by President BJ Habibie have unleashed religious parties (both Islamic and Christian) in Indonesian politics. This study shows that the Islamist agenda of the Islamist parties is overshadowed by their political pragmatism. This book is a must-read account on the rise and failure of the Islamist struggle in Indonesia's emerging democracy. Platzdasch's work is without a doubt a significant and timely contribution to a better understanding of Islamic politics in contemporary Indonesia. - Professor Azyumardi Azra, Professor of History & Director, Graduate School, Syarif Hidayatullah State Islamic University, Jakarta, Indonesia.
The New Santri
Just like the Gutenberg revolution in the fifteenth century, which led to the emergence of non-conventional religious authority in the Christian world, the current information technology revolution, particularly through mediums such as Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, and Twitter, has triggered the re-construction and decentralization of religious authority in Islam. New santri (pious individuals) and preachers emerged from the non-conventional religious educational system. They not only challenged the traditional authorities, but also redefine and re-conceptualize old religious terminologies, such as hijra and wasatiyya. This book explores the dynamics of religious authority in Indonesia with ...
Contemporary Developments in Indonesian Islam
"Once celebrated in the Western media as a shining example of a 'liberal' and 'tolerant' Islam, Indonesia since the end of the Soeharto regime (May 1998) has witnessed a variety of developments that bespeak a conservative turn in the country's Muslim politics. In this timely collection of original essays, Martin van Bruinessen, our most distinguished senior Western scholar of Indonesian Islam, and four leading Indonesian Muslim scholars explore and explain these developments. Each chapter examines recent trends from a strategic institutional perch: the Council of Indonesian Muslim scholars, the reformist Muhammadiyah, South Sulawesi's Committee for the Implementation of Islamic Shari'a, and ...
Islam in Southeast Asia
Examines the role, relevance and challenges, as well as the political and strategic dimensions of Islam in contemporary Southeast Asia.
Monoteisme Samawi Autentik
Sejarah kelahiran Islam tidak mungkin dapat dipisahkan dari tradisi monoteisme Semitik, yang di dalamnya meliputi sejarah agama Yahudi dan kelahiran agama Nasrani. Dengan menempatkan tiga agama Semitik ke dalam rel sejarah yang satu, dapat dipahami bahwa terdapat estafet kenabian yang tidak terputus-putus dari nabi-nabi terdahulu dan diakhiri lewat kenabian Muhammad Saw.
Pertarungan Pemikiran Islam Di Indonesia
Banyak Buku yang ditulis untuk mengungkap dan membantah paham Islam Liberal, namun buku ini terasa lebih berbeda dan istimewa, karena ditulis oleh sejarawan muda dengan mengungkap latar belakang sejarah secara lengkap tentang pertarungan pemikiran antara para pengusung paham Islam Liberal dengan kelompok aktivis dan intelektual dari gerakan dakwah di negeri ini. Sebagai buku yang berasal dari disertasi penulisnya di Universitas Indonesia (UI), karya ini memiliki bobot ilmiah yang baik, kaerna sudah diuji secara akademis. Penulis merekam segala peristiwa, wacana, dan adu argumentasi yang dilontarkan dari kedua belah pihak, kemudian memberikan analisa dan penjelaskannya dengan bahasa yang sang...
Voices of Islam in Southeast Asia
In an era when Islam ostensibly lies at the heart of a volatile nexus of a global campaign of war on terrorism, simplistic notions and dangerous misunderstandings about the cultures and nature of Southeast Asian Islam, in all its variants, are used to inform and justify policies.
