Recenzje

Ummah Yet Proletariat is a richly illuminating study of Indonesian societies in which Muslims reconciled Islam and Marxism theoretically and in their material lives. Lin Hongxuan meticulously analyses Indonesian-Malay materials and recounts much-needed histories of left-wing Islamic reform as well as Islamic and Marxist labour movements, print culture and parliamentary politics. Accessibly written, this book is a remarkable addition to the study of modern Indonesia and Islam, reminding us that Indonesia should be central to conversations regarding Asian Marxism and Islamic Third Worldism.
