  • Book Description

    In Indonesia, the world's largest Muslim-majority country, Muslims struggle to reconcile radically different sets of social norms and laws, including those derived from Islam, local social norms, and contemporary ideas about gender equality and law. Here, John Bowen explores this struggle through archival and ethnographic research and through interviews with national religious and legal figures. The book speaks to debates in any society where people struggle to live together with deep differences in values and ways of life. It will be welcomed by scholars and students across the social sciences.
