Description
Summary:This book is dedicated to cultural and political figures, institutions and ideas in a period of transition in Muslim societies in Southeast Asia. Malaysia and Indonesia. It also tackles some of the flavors of civilizing processes in Singapore and surrounding areas. The focus is on how Islam was re-created as an intellectual and sociopolitical tradition in Southeast Asia in the nineteen-nineties. Subjects of this inquiry include scholars who study Islam both as a textual and local tradition, students who take the heartlands of Islam as imaginative landscapes for cultural transformation, and politicians and institutions which have been concerned with transmitting the idea of "Islamization."
