Islam in
Southeast Asia
CRITICAL CONCEPTS IN ISLAMIC STUDIES
Edited and with a new introduction by Joseph Liow, Nanyang Technological
University, Singapore and Nadirsyah Hosen, University of Wollongong,
Australia
The Islamic community in Southeast Asia is widely regarded as
one of the most moderate and tolerant in the Muslim world.
While most of the regions Muslims are Sunni and fairly
orthodox, the Islamic faith as practiced in the region has
historically been a syncretic blend of Islam, Hinduism,
Buddhism, and folk religions. The syncretic roots of
Southeast Asian Islam also underscore the pluralistic nature
of Islam in the region today, where Muslims have generally
lived peacefully in religiously mixed communities, even in
areas where they constituted a large majority. Alongside
these pluralistic trends in Southeast Asian Islam are some
alternative streams of social-political activism that threaten
its traditionally inclusivist character.
Focusing on the historical, cultural, sociological, theological,
and intellectual aspects of Islam in Southeast Asia, this new
Major Work from Routledge assesses trends in Muslim
politics in Southeast Asia, investigating the success and
failure of political Islam in the Muslim-majority cases of
Indonesia and Malaysia, as well as the Muslim-minority
contexts of Thailand, Philippines, and Singapore.
Fully indexed and with an introduction newly written
by the editors that comprehensively places the collected
material in its historical and intellectual context, this
new Routledge Major Work is destined to be an
essential research and teaching resource.
