Description
Muslim Intellectual Responses to "New Order" Modernization In Indonesia is the first attempt at an intellectual history of Muslim religio-political thought in "New Order" Indonesia. In analyzing the various types of elite Muslim responses to the sosio-political changes of Suharto's Indonesia, the study throws into sharp relief the aspirations, dilemmas and frustrations of the Muslim com- munity in the context of secularizing processes. It scrutinizes the attempt of a Muslim accomodationist group to come to terms with the reality of military power and discusses its implications to Islamic thoughts and commitments. Insofar as "Modernization" has become an issue in con- temporary Indonesia, the Islamic viewpoints selected by the author are as illuminating as they are truly representative. The book's interdisciplinary flavour and the issues discussed in it will be of interest to students of various disciplines Islamic Thought, Indonesian Studies, Sociology of Religion, Development Studies and Political Science.
