There are more Muslims in Indonesia than in any other country, but most people outside the region know little about the nation, much less about the practice of Islam among its diverse peoples or the religion’s influence on the politics of the republic. In this illuminating publication, Robert Pringle explains the advent of Islam in Indonesia, its development, and especially its contemporary circumstances. The author’s incisive writing provides the necessary background and demystifies the spectrum of politically active Muslim groups in Indonesia today.

Top reviews from the United States

  • Reviewed in the United States on January 7, 2019
    The author does a superb job at analyzing and discussing why & how Indonesia's particular type of Islam was established. This is a relatively short book on the subject, but its pages are replete with a lot of important knowledge on the history of Islam in the vast archipelago nation of Indonesia.
  • Reviewed in the United States on March 14, 2011
    The title suggests a college textbook, which will be its largest market, but to anyone familiar with Indonesia it reads more like a well researched historical novel. Islam crept into the archipelago of Hindu/Buddhist states in te 7th century and the author weaves the story of its surges through colonialism, revolution, democracy and dictatorship with wit. Pringle knows his territory; he served as a Foreign Service officer in Jakarta in the early 70s as Suharto was consolidating his power,and he also know the academic elite of Indonesia and Indonesianists. He takes us through all the upheavals, the squabbles of Muslim political parties, social organizations and extremist sects without using dense academic language, a fault that cripples other studies. He uses the device of parallels to our own political history (e.g. Ahmadiyah's relationship to Islam resembles Mormons to Christianity)in a way that immediately simplifies the complex, making it an extremely readable book.

    This reviewer was in Indonesia during a period of turmoil, the mid-60s, working there as a freelance journalist. At the time, I thought of it as a fight between secular nationalism and communism, with Islam just a gauzy veil that appeared fleetingly in arguments over marriage laws, or parliamentary seats, or whether to work on Friday. Pringle shows instead that Islam was a constant force underpinning the social and political upheavals. He tells how Suharto's early repression of Reformist Islam actually backfired, resulting in more support for the pluralism and diversity of Indonesian society..as well as as nasty touch of Islamic extremism in a tiny minority.

    The book should have wide appeal to every college course on Southeast Asia, on religion, political science and even anthropology. It should also be standard fare for anyone going to Indonesia as a businessman, scholar, or even an enlightened tourist. It has no match in its field as a reference book. The author has also very thoughtfully provided a guide for further reading with chatty comments on authors, an excellent glossary, and a concise, clear guide to the maze of political parties.
