The Minority Muslim Experience in Mainland Southeast Asia
Routledge (Verlag)
978-1-032-01120-2 (ISBN)
Focusing on two major Muslim communities in Southeast Asia, both of whom live as minorities in societies that are not democratic and have a history of hostility and repression towards non-conforming ideas, the book explains their circumstances, the choices and life decisions they have to make, and how minorities can thrive in an unfriendly, monocultural environment. Based on original field work and research, the author analyses how people live, and how they adapt to societies which are not motivated by Western liberal ideals of multiculturalism. The book also offers a unique perspective on how Islam develops in an environment where it is seen as alien and disloyal.
A useful contribution analyzing historical and post-colonial experiences of Muslim minorities and how they survive and evolve over the course of state monopoly in mainland Southeast Asia, this book will be of interest to academics working on Muslim minorities, Asian Religion and Southeast Asian Studies.
John Goodman has a PhD in Islamic Studies from Exeter University, UK. He lived and worked in Asia for more than 20 years and is the founder of Ogilvy Noor, an Islamic branding consultancy.
