Description

Indonesians and Their Arab World explores the ways contemporary Indonesians understand their relationship to the Arab world. Despite being home to the largest Muslim population in the world, Indonesia exists on the periphery of an Islamic world centered around the Arabian Peninsula. Mirjam Lucking approaches the problem of interpreting the current conservative turn in Indonesian Islam by considering the ways personal relationships, public discourse, and matters of religious self-understanding guide two groups of Indonesians who actually travel to the Arabian Peninsula-labor migrants and Mecca pilgrims-in becoming physically mobile and making their mobility meaningful. This concept, which Lucking calls "guided mobility," reveals that changes in Indonesian Islamic traditions are grounded in domestic social constellations and calls claims of outward Arab influence in Indonesia into question. With three levels of comparison (urban and rural areas, Madura and Central Java, and migrants and pilgrims), this ethnographic case study foregrounds how different regional and socioeconomic contexts determine Indonesians' various engagements with the Arab world.

Acknowledgments

In writing about guided mobility, I realize how much my own mobility in this project has been guided. I am grateful to all those who guided my physical and intellectual steps and thereby enabled movement and understanding in the first place. The protagonists of this book are labor migrants and Mecca pilgrims, and their relatives, neighbors, friends, and guides, in Madura and Central Java. I wish to express my deep gratitude to all those who participated in my research and who mostly remain anonymous here. I especially thank my research partners, Nuki Mayasari, Khotim Ubaidillah (Ubed), and Kamalatul Khorriyah (Mala). My first steps into a part of Indonesia’s diverse Islamic culture took place in 2008, when Nuki and I conducted a small research project in Islamic boarding schools (pesantren) in Yogyakarta. Throughout the last decade our paths crossed in and beyond research in Indonesia and Germany, and I am grateful to the many joint research experiences and post–field trip discussions that we continue to share. Ubed guided my way into Madurese society—even when he was not physically there. Our first explorative motorcycle trip in Pamekasan and Sampang was truly eye opening, and what started with the joint spatial mobility developed into intense intellectual mobility and exchange. Beyond the immense support in practical and intellectual research questions, Ubed contributed to this book through useful comments on an earlier version of the manuscript and through his photographs. Mala, who is not an anthropologist but an agricultural engineer by training, spontaneously engaged in my research activities with a natural talent for ethno graphic research. I am thankful for our joint research activities during Ramadan 2014 in Pamekasan and for the generous hospitality offered by her and her family. Regarding my physical mobility, several institutions enabled me to travel, research, and write. The German Federal Ministry of Education and Research funded a research project from which this book emerged, as part of the Freiburg Southeast Asian Studies Program “Grounding Area Studies in Social Practice,” under grant number 01UC1307. The research in Indonesia was approved by the Indonesian Ministry for Research and Technology (Kementerian Riset dan Teknologi) under permit number 028/SIP/FRP/SM/I/2014 and upon invita tion by Gadjah Mada University Yogyakarta. At a later stage of the project, the
