 | The Makings of Indonesian Islam: |
ADDITIONAL REVIEWS: "This book offers an original reflection on the factors that have contributed to the faces of Islam in Indonesia today. It is fascinating, and brilliant in the lines of argument and interplay of themes that it develops, and despite the liveliness, at times playfulness of style, is dense and closely argued in its texture. . . . [T]his is a wonderful book."--Anthony H. Johns, Journal of Southeast Asian Studies "Lafffan's very rich account . . . [is] an original and richly detailed contribution to writing the history of an Indonesian Islam."--Carool Kersten, Journal of the Humanities and Social Sciences of Southeast Asia and Oceania ADDITIONAL ENDORSEMENTS: "This book is a major contribution to our understanding of Indonesian Islam. Laffan's methodical and exhaustive research provides us with a well of information and insights that will be mined by scholars and students for years to come. The Makings of Indonesian Islam establishes a new benchmark for scholarship on the subject."--Barbara Watson Andaya, coauthor of A History of Malaysia "The Makings of Indonesian Islam is the best available overview of Islam in the Netherlands East Indies. Laffan offers an original and exciting way of studying the subject."--Nico Kaptein, coeditor of Transcending Borders: Arabs, Politics, Trade, and Islam in Southeast Asia File created: 5/16/2013 | |
