Living Faith: Inside the Muslim World of Southeast Asia
Outline: Arab and Indian traders brought Islam to the coastal trading ports of the Malay Peninsula, Sumatra, and Java between the 11th and 15th centuries, assimilating Hinduism and various animist sects that practices the supernatural. Over the centuries Southeast Asian Muslims became known for their tolerance of religious beliefs, including those of European colonists and laborers brought from India and China. Now a new Islamic zeal - some Muslims call it a reawekening - has caught fire in Southeast Asia, a region where religious fault lines already run deep. Living Faith : Inside the Muslim World of Southeast Asia takes readers inside mosque and schools, into villages and cities, and among families fr an intimate look at modern Islamic life. Photojournalist Steve Raymer's compelling color photographs document a Muslim revival that spans the breadth of Southeast Asia, from Cambodia through the vast Indonesian Archipelago and into southern Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, and Brunei. Living Faith creates a stunning portrait of Southeast Asia Muslims at the dawn of a new century.
