Radicalized Nationalists? Ideological Contestation, the State, and Populist Muslim Belonging in Indonesia
Indonesians have witnessed the emergence of multiple populist narratives within their mainstream political discourse. This includes the rise of a majoritarianism, whose advocates aim to ascribe privileged rights to sections of the country's Sunni Muslim majority based on ideas of nostalgic cultural loss and of economic and political disenfranchisement. Unsurprisingly, majoritarianism is deeply polarizing, and the previous government interpreted t…
Religious authority in the urban mosque
In Eastern Indonesia, young male Islamic activists articulate a notion of religious authority that reorients community life toward neighborhood mosques. By providing local communities with Qur'anic classes and religious services, these activists-affiliated with Indonesia's largest Salafi organization-have created a network of spaces in which they promote new religious lifeworlds grounded in the substantive relationships they build across these ne…

Over the past 30 years, the translocal Salafi movement has expanded rapidly across Indonesia. Propagating a strict 'literal' interpretation of Islam, Salafis place strong emphasis on separating themselves from un-Islamic (non-Salafi) society. However, the daily implementation of such rigid boundaries remains rife with tension, depending less on Islamic scripture and more upon how adherents interpret it in a given time and place. A reflexive appro…
Salafi activism and the promotion of a modern Muslim identity
Indonesia has witnessed the emergence of a market of Islamic goods, services and media platforms that have catalysed a qualitative shift in the ways individuals come to express their religious convictions. Salafi Islam is no exception to this transformation, and this article provides a case study of contemporary Salafi propagation amongst Yogyakarta’s students and graduates. Through description and analysis of campus based religious lectures, web…
Salafi Islamic piety as civic activism
Islamic renewal is having a considerable impact on politics and society in Indonesia. This article discusses the way in which Islamic movements shape the nature and interpretation of citizenship by focusing on Wahdah Islamiyah, a Salafi organisation with over 120 branches nationwide. By examining how Wahdah Islamiyah promotes an idea of citizenship amongst followers and the community, it seeks to show how Islamic and national identities can overl…
