Beskrivning
How Muslims in Indonesia consider their religious practices, politics and culture as Islamic is described in this volume. By examining the various ways Bima Muslims constitute their Islamic identities and agencies through rituals and festivals, this book argues that religious practice is still vigorous in present Bima. It explores the reproduction of religious meanings among various local Muslims and the differences between social groups. Islam is represented as divided between the traditionalist Muslims and the reformist Muslims, between the royal family and the ordinary Muslims, and between Muslim clerics and lay people. Consequently, there is no single picture of Islam. As Bima Muslims construe their Islam in response to their surroundings, what it means to be a Muslim is constantly being negotiated. The complexity of religious life has been a result of the duality of socio-political settings in Bima which stems from the early period of the Islamization of Bima to the present.

Recensioner i media

“I think the work is a valuable book with a wealth of new and as yet unrecorded information on Islam as practiced in Bima, obtained from fieldwork. One of the interesting things it shows is that the commonly accepted dichotomy between traditionalist Muslims (organized in the Nadlatul Ulama) on the one hand and the reformist Muslims (organized in the Muhammadiyah) is not fully tenable and that the boundaries between these two orientations within Islam are actually blurred, e.g. in the sensitive issue of traditional healing. The part on the Hanta Ua Pua Festival shows in an interesting way how religion is linked to the peculiar traditional dual power structure in Bima. All in all, this is the best book on Islam in everyday life in Bima, which I know of.”
