Islam in Asia : Religion, Politics, & Society

---

Outline: Current events continue to focus attention to resurgent Islam and its role in world affairs. Although many Westerners think of Islam as an Arab phenomenon, more than half of the world's 800 million Muslims live in Asia, the home of four most populous Muslim communities: Indonesia, Pakistan, India, and Bangladesh. In Islam in Asia, eleven leading authorities on Islam address the questions: How is Islam present in the public life - government, national ideology, law, and political parties - of Asian Muslims? How does Islam influence the domestic politics and foreign policies of Asian countries? The resulting essays provide an illuminating country-by-country survey of the diverse roles played by Islam in Asia today. Asian Islam emerges in all its complexity, as varied as the language, customs, and terrain of the nations in which it has taken root. An authoritative and timely study, Islam in Asia is an essential resource for anyone interested in contemporary Islam, Asian studies, or 20th-century history.
