AL BARZANJI BASA SUNDA SERIES

Each chapter opens with a general background summary that places events in the greater Asian/ Southeast Asian context, followed by an overview of prominent ethnic groups, political events, customs and cultures, religious factors, and art forms. Ranging across the humanities and social sciences, this balanced and accessible work emphasizes the historical development of Southeast AsiaвЂ™s accommodation of Islam and the creation of its distinctive regional character. Sultans, Shamans, and Saints looks at Islam in Southeast Asia during four major eras: its arrival (to 1300), the first flowering of Islamic identity (1300вЂ“1800), the era of imperialism (1800вЂ“1945), and the era of independent nation-states (1945вЂ“2000). Y the fourteenth century the Islamic faith had spread via maritime trade routes to Southeast Asia where, over the next seven hundred years, it would have a continuing influence on political life, social customs, and the development of the arts.

It will also be useful to those with a world-systems approach to the study of history and globalization. Sultans, Shamans, and Saints will be of great value to students and researchers specializing in the study of Islam and the comparative study of Muslim societies and culture. Islam, this work concludes, developed in the Southeast Asian context in a way that allowed its followers to be guided by principles shared by Muslims in other lands while preserving a unique outlook on the world. A deepening emphasis on faith, propelled by a wave of revivalism, has shaped contemporary Muslim behavior into forms much more compatible with Sunni standards than what existed earlier, and this has focused more attention on Islamic scriptures, teachings, observances, and conduct. Muslims today give considerable attention to political and social organization and to reaching an accommodation with the new political systems that have arisen in Southeast Asia.
