Eight Australian and Indonesian academics and researchers contribute seven chapters examining how Indonesian Muslim women experience their religion and actively engage with it in the post-Suharto era. The text reflects current feminist concerns with diversity and with women as active participants in society--rather than passive victims of male oppression--as it explores the variety of women's Islamic practices and ways of being in contemporary Indonesia. It includes discussion of not just the popularly controversial topics of marriage and veiling, but also the media, education, organizational life, religiosity, philanthropy and regional politics. No subject index. For students, scholars, academics, and researchers. Distributed in the US by ISBS. Annotation ©2008 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
