Encountering Islam: The Politics of Religious Identities in Southeast Asia
This edited volume examines the complex relationship between Islam, political power, and evolving religious identities across the diverse nations of Southeast Asia. The book brings together various scholarly perspectives to analyze how Islamic resurgence and its politicization influence public life, social structure, and state-society relations in countries like Indonesia, Malaysia, and the Southern Philippines. Chapters explore themes such as the role of religious figures, the impact of transnational Islamic networks, the state's management of religious diversity, and the rise of new forms of religious expression in the public and political sphere.
