Islam and Popular Culture in Indonesia and Malaysia (eBook, ePUB)

Redaktion: Weintraub, Andrew N.

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Islam is a religion but there are also popular cultures of Islam that are mass mediated, commercialized, pleasure-filled, humorous, and representative of large segments of society. This book illuminates how Muslims (and non-Muslims) in Indonesia and Malaysia make sense of their lives within an increasingly pervasive, popular culture of Islamic images, texts, film, songs, and narratives.
