Indonesians and Their Arab World: Guided Mobility among Labor Migrants and Mecca Pilgrims
This book explores the ways that contemporary Indonesians understand their relationship to the Arab world. Despite being home to the largest Muslim population in the world, Indonesia exists on the periphery of an Islamic world centered around the Arabian Peninsula. The book approaches the problem of interpreting the current conservative turn in Indonesian Islam by considering the ways by which personal relationships, public discourse, and matters…
Indonesians and Their Arab World: Guided Mobility among Labor Migrants and Mecca Pilgrims
“Food unites us… not anymore!?” Indonesian pilgrims eating kosher and halal in Jerusalem
Eating good Asian food is important to Indonesians who travel in religious package tours to Jerusalem. Those Indonesians who travel to Jerusalem are mainly members of Indonesia’s Christian minority of around 26 million people. Only recently Jerusalem has also become a popular destination among the Muslim majority of Indonesia. Among Israelis and Palestinians who work in the tourism industry, Indonesians are known for their culinary preferences. T…
Breaching Boundaries in Muslim and Christian Tourism from Indonesia to Israel and Palestine
Studies on tourism and pilgrimage show that spatial mobility, including transregional travel, mostly confirms and strengthens tourists’ and pilgrims’ social identities and symbolic boundaries between Self and Other. However, in guided religious package tours from Indonesia to Israel and Palestine, experiences with spatial boundaries do affect the Muslim and Christian pilgrims, adding more nuances to socio-cultural boundary-making. This complex ma…

Israel and Indonesia share no diplomatic relations, and considering Indonesia's cordial bonds with the Palestinian Authority, Indonesian society is deemed to be critical of Israel. However, the ways in which Indonesians relate to 'Others' in Israel and Palestine are not monolithic. Indonesian perspectives on the Middle East are far more nuanced, as might be assumed from the largest Muslim society in the world, and the idea of 'taking sides' is ch…
Working in Mecca
On the island of Madura, various forms of pilgrimage–migration, a fusion of labour migration and pilgrimage, challenge the Indonesian government’s regulation of pilgrims’ and labourers’ mobility to the Gulf. Among the Madurese people, alternative channels of travelling to Mecca are increasingly popular and informal; personal networks appear to be considered more reliable and accountable than the state’s guidance. The Madurese people’s strong desi…
Images of Authentic Muslim Selves: Gendered Moralities and Constructions of Arab Others in Contemporary Indonesia
In contemporary Indonesia, Muslims increasingly define themselves by othering fellow Muslims, including Arab Muslims. This article examines how Indonesian Muslims, who have traveled to and/or resided in the Middle East, construct their social identities in relation to Arab others. Ethnographic research with labor migrants and pilgrims, and a cultural analysis of cinematic representations of Indonesian students in Cairo, show that conceptions of g…
