Download or read book Riots Pogroms Jihad written by John T. Sidel and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2018-07-05 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In October 2002 a bomb blast in a Balinese nightclub killed more than two hundred people, many of them young Australian tourists. This event and subsequent attacks on foreign targets in Bali and Jakarta in 2003, 2004, and 2005 brought Indonesia into the global media spotlight as a site of Islamist terrorist violence. Yet the complexities of political and religious struggles in Indonesia, the most populous Muslim country in the world, remain little known and poorly understood in the West. In Riots, Pogroms, Jihad, John T. Sidel situates these terrorist bombings and other "jihadist" activities in Indonesia against the backdrop of earlier episodes of religious violence in the country, including religious riots in provincial towns and cities in 1995-1997, the May 1998 riots in Jakarta, and interreligious pogroms in 1999-2001. Sidel's close account of these episodes of religious violence in Indonesia draws on a wide range of documentary, ethnographic, and journalistic materials. Sidel chronicles these episodes of violence and explains the overall pattern of change in religious violence over a ten-year period in terms of the broader discursive, political, and sociological contexts in which they unfolded. Successive shifts in the incidence of violence-its forms, locations, targets, perpetrators, mobilizational processes, and outcomes-correspond, Sidel suggests, to related shifts in the very structures of religious authority and identity in Indonesia during this period. He interprets the most recent "jihadist" violence as a reflection of the post-1998 decline of Islam as a banner for unifying and mobilizing Muslims in Indonesian politics and society. Sidel concludes this book by reflecting on the broader implications of the pattern observed in Indonesia both for understanding Islamic terrorism in particular and for analyzing religious violence in all its varieties.
Download or read book The Appropriation of Religion in Southeast Asia and Beyond written by Michel Picard and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-08-11 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume investigates various processes by which world religions become localized, as well as how local traditions in Southeast Asia and Melanesia become universalized. In the name of modernity and progress, the contemporary Southeast Asian states tend to press their populations to have a ‘religion,' claiming that their local, indigenous practices and traditions do not constitute religion. Authors analyze this ‘religionization,’ addressing how local people appropriate religion as a category to define some of their practices as differentiated from others, whether they want to have a religion or are constrained to demonstrate that they profess one. Thus, ‘religion’ is what is regarded as such by these local actors, which might not correspond to what counts as religion for the observer. Furthermore, local actors do not always concur regarding what their religion is about, as religion is a contested issue. In consequence, each of the case studies in this volume purposes to elucidate what gets identified and legitimized as ‘religion’, by whom, for what purpose, and under what political conditions.
Download or read book Selling the Sea Fishing for Power written by Dedy Supriadi Adhuri and published by ANU E Press. This book was released on 2013-03-01 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is an ethnographic study of several coastal communities in the Kei Islands of eastern Indonesia. Central to Dr. Adhuri’s argument is an insistence that systems of local marine resource management cannot be studied on their own, in isolation from either the complex cultural and historical conditions that give impetus to community action or from the equally complex regional and national contexts within which such action is undertaken.
Download or read book Muddied Waters written by P. Boomgaard and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2021-10-01 with total page 426 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the history of human interaction with forest and marine ecosystems in Indonesia, Malaysia and the Philippines. Rainforests falling to snarling chainsaws, and factory trawlers emptying the life out of tropical seas, are nowadays among the most familiar images of Southeast Asia. Yet the present excessive levels of logging and fishing have emerged only within the last generation. Until a few decades ago it was common for marine and forest-related economic activities in Southeast Asia to have limited, and in the long run rather stable, effects on the environment. Did this relative stability simply reflect lower population densities, less well developed markets, and less efficient extraction technologies? Or was it the result of successful resource management techniques and institutions? If so, why have these since failed or been abandoned? Seventeen contributions by an international selection of expert authors cover topics ranging from the collection of rattan, beeswax and forest resins in the seventeenth century to the management of modern marine nature reserves. Muddied waters is essential reading for anyone interested in the environmental history of Southeast Asia, whether in connection with other aspects of this particular region, or in relation to patterns of environmental change and resource management in other parts of the world.

Download or read book Fishers of Garogos written by Hermien L. Soselisa and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Garogos is a small sand island barely rising above the sea off the eastern end of the large central Maluku Island of Seram. Unable to sustain agriculture, its 300-odd inhabitants are necessarily specialist fishermen. On the basis of her field-work in 1993 Hermien Soselisa paints a vivid picture of the precarious existence of the islanders as they struggle to secure their livelihood in the face of economic and ecological uncertainties.In Garagos, virtually everyone is a fisherman, exploiting a wide variety of marine resources, from shellfish and seaweed to sea slugs and deep ocean sharks. The sea provides food for daily subsistence as well as fish and other resources used in exchange for the products of agricultural communities in nearby islands. The Garogos islanders also depend upon the sale of their catch to earn money to buy other necessities of life.Soselisa provides insights into the customary marine tenure rights claimed by islanders, their varied strategies of dealing with the problems of meeting the subsistence needs of the household and the vagaries of the commercial market for sea resources. She also explores the sustainability of fishing in the face of market pressures and the depredations of commercial operations within the customary domain of Garogos islanders.The book is a valuable case study of an isolated and impoverished community that is nonetheless dependent upon the outside world for its very existence. This work adds to our understanding of artisanal fishing communities and indigenous systems of natural resource management in general as well as to our knowledge of eastern Indonesia in particular.The author, Hermien L Soselisa, is an anthropologist with the Maluku Studies Centre at Pattimura University in Ambon, eastern Indonesia. She is a graduate of Gadja Mada University and gained an MA degree in Anthropology from the Northern Territory University in Darwin. She also holds a PhD from the Northern Territory University (now Charles Darwin University). Hermien is the author of a number of articles and chapters on natural resource management. The manuscript for this book was completed while she was a Research Associate of the Centre for Indigenous Natural and Cultural Resource Management at Northern Territory University.
