The book will be presented and discussed by:

  • Mirjam Lücking (Postdoctoral Fellow, Martin Buber Society, Hebrew University of Jerusalem)
  • Judith Schlehe (Director of the Department of Social and Cultural Anthropology, University of Freiburg)
  • Jürgen Rüland (Emeritus Professor in International Relations, Department of Political Science, University of Freiburg)
  • Hew Wai Weng (Research Fellow at the Institute of Malaysian and International Studies, Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia)

 

After brief comments by the speakers, there will be time for further discussion.

 

The book emerged from a project of the Freiburg Southeast Asian Studies Program “Grounding Area Studies in Social Practice.” It explores how contemporary Indonesians understand their relationship to the Arab world against the backdrop of claims of an “Arabization” of Indonesian Islamic traditions. First-hand accounts from labor migrants and Mecca pilgrims show how their references to the Arab World and their physical and social mobility are guided.
