Description: As New. 8vo-over 7¾"-9¾" tall. Very little or no wear. "[The author] begins his argument by outlining the problem conceptually and providing an overview of the two countries.

"Anyone who wants to understand the current state of the Muslim world should read this book. Geertz takes a diachronic approach to understanding Muslim culture at the antipodes of the Muslim world, Morocco and Indonesia. He shows the development Islam in those two places and its fusion with indiginous culture. He then goes on to show what the effect of colonialism was in those two societies, and it is not what you think. The reaction to modernity was, in his terms, the ideologization of religion. That is, Islam as an -ism. The transformation was basically to spur the development of revivalist movements that in the Christian context is called fundamentalism."
