Reviews

Through its critical approach to the interplay of Islamic religious reform and dynamics of both British and Dutch colonialism, this work of comparative history opens up illuminating perspective on the rather different shapes that Islam and Muslim societies have taken in the neighbouring nation-states of modern Malaysia and Indonesia. * Michael Feener, Asia Research Institute, National University of Singapore *
