Religion, Politics and Gender in Indonesia: Disputing the Muslim Body

By Sonja van Wichelen

Book Overview

Arguing that in contemporary Indonesia, Muslim politics have worked with democratic principles, this book illustrates that debates on Islamic issues often relate to other central issues of politics and identity such as new class dynamics, shifting ideas of femininity and masculinity, the production of ethnicity, global consumerism and political power relations.
