The Politics of Religion in Indonesia (eBook, ePUB)

Syncretism, Orthodoxy, and Religious Contention in Java and Bali
Redaktion: Picard, Michel; Madinier, Rémy

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Indonesia is a remarkable case study for religious politics. While not being a theocratic country, it is not secular either, with the Indonesian state officially defining what constitutes religion, and every citizen needing to be affiliated to one of them. This book focuses on Java and Bali, and the interesting comparison of two neighbouring societies shaped by two different religions - Islam and Hinduism.
