Book info: Public Islam in Indonesia: Piety, Politics, and Identity (Religion and Society in Asia) (Hardcover, 170 pages) – Routledge, 2018. Language: English.
In recent years, ongoing democratisation in Indonesia has enabled the rise of a form of Islam that is more sympathetic to the basic democratic principle of individual freedom. As a result, many Islamic symbols have lost their strictly religious meanings in favour of new pragmatic and political undertones. Combining approaches from political science and anthropology, Noorhaidi Hasan explores this phenomenon and the extent to which public Islam could represent a new future for the nation, one that moves beyond the simple opposition of state versus religion. Editorial Reviews About the Author Noorhaidi Hasan is professor of Islam and politics and dean of the graduate school at Sunan Kalijaga State Islamic University in Yogyakarta, Indonesia.
