This book is dedicated to cultural and political figures, insti-tutions and ideas in a period of transition in Muslim soci-eties in Southeast Asia, Malaysia and Indonesia. It also tackles some of the flavors of civilizing processes in Singapore and surrounding areas. Its focus is on how Islam was re-created as an intellectual and sociopolitical tradition in Southeast Asia in the 1990s. Subjects of this inquiry include scholars who study Islam both as a textual and local tradition, students who take the heartlands of Islam as imaginative landscapes for cultural transformation, and politicians and institutions concerned with transmitting the idea of "Islamization."

Georg Stauth is an Orientalist and sociologist who specializes on the Middle East and has spent several years in Southeast Asia. Using this vantage point, he observes the emerging ideas of a modern Islamic future as forces of both local self-assertiveness and transnational relations.

Georg Stauth teaches sociology of Islam and Islamic countries in the Faculty of Sociology, University of Bielefeld. He is co-author of Nietzsche's Dance (Oxford 1988) and has been co-editor of the Yearbook of Sociology of Islam (New Brunswick, Hamburg) since 1998. His recent work includes Authentizität und kulturelle Globalisierung (Authenticity and Cultural Globalization) and Islamische Kultur und moderne Gesellschaft (Islamic Culture and Modern Society), both published by transcript, Bielefeld.
