Book Summary
This book argues that Indonesian nationalism rested on Islamic ecumenism heightened by colonial rule and the pilgrimage. The author contrasts the latter experience with life in Cairo, where some Southeast Asians were drawn to both reformism and nationalism. After demonstrating the close linkage between Cairene ideology and Indonesian nationalism, Laffan shows how developments in the Middle East continued to play a role in shaping Islamic politics in colonial Indonesia.
