Book - Photocopy

Rooted in the latest theoretical debates about nationalism and ethnicity, yet written in an accessible and engaging style, Islam and Nation presents a fascinating study of the genesis, growth and decline of a nationalist movement. Drawing on hundreds of interviews with nationalist leaders, activists and guerillas, Aspinall reveals how the Free Aceh Movement went from being a quixotic fantasy to a guerilla army in the space of a generation, leading to a bitter conflict in which thousands perished. And by exploring the complex relationship between Islam and nationalism, Aspinall also explains how a society famed for its Islamic piety gave rise to a guerilla movement that ended up rejecting the Islamic goals of its forebears. Islam and Nation is a tour de force in the study of nationalist politics. It will be of great interest to readers concerned about Southeast Asia, Islamic politics, ethnic conflict and nationalism everywhere NONE9789971694852 C2O library Online catalog (BETA) 959.81 ASP Isl 7522 C2O library & collabtive (Non Fiction) 959.81 ASP Isl 41TgyrKg0mL._SX331_BO1%2C204%2C203%2C200_.jpg.jpg 6328 2017-09-07 18:27:33 2017-09-07 18:28:31 machine generated
