This paper categorizes Muslim beliefs and practices in postcolonial Indonesia—santri-abangan-priyayi, traditionalist-modernist, political-cultural, fundamentalist-liberal, great-little tradition, and global-local—and argues that, far from being fixed, they must be situated in context. Such a typology must consider contingency, diversity, and complexity, shaped by various factors. The terms santri and abangan are useful to identify fractions of th…
