"Women, the Recited Qur'an, and Islamic Music in Contemporary
Indonesia" takes readers to the heart of religious musical praxis
in Indonesia, home to the largest Muslim population in the world.
Anne K. Rasmussen explores a rich public soundscape, where women
recite the divine texts of the Qur'an, and where an extraordinary
diversity of Arab-influenced Islamic musical styles and genres,
also performed by women, flourishes. Based on unique and revealing
ethnographic research beginning at the end of Suharto's "New Order"
and continuing into the era of "Reformation," the book considers
the powerful role of music in the expression of religious
nationalism. In particular, it focuses on musical style, women's
roles, and the ideological and aesthetic issues raised by the
Indonesian style of recitation.
