A Genealogy of Islamic Feminism offers a new insight on the
changing relationship between Islam and feminism from the colonial
era in the 1900s to the early 1990s in Indonesia. The book
juxtaposes both colonial and postcolonial sites to show the changes
and the patterns of the encounters between Islam and feminism
within the global and local nexus. Global forces include Dutch
colonialism, developmentalism, transnational feminism, and the
United Nations' institutional bodies and their conferences. Local
factors are comprised of women's movements, adat (customs),
nationalism, the politics underlying the imposition of Pancasila
ideology and maternal virtues, and variations of Islamic
revivalism. Using a genealogical approach, the book examines the
multifaceted encounters between Islam and feminism and attempts to
rediscover egalitarianism in the Islamic tradition-a concept which
has been subjugated by hierarchical gender systems. The book also
systematizes Muslim women's encounters with Islam and feminism into
five phases: emancipation, association, development, integration,
and proliferation eras. Each era discusses the confluence of global
and local factors which shape the changing relationship between
Islam and feminism and the way in which the discursive narrative of
equality is debated and contextualized, progressing from biological
determinism (kodrat) to the ethico-spiritual argument. Islamic
feminism contributes to the rediscovery of Islam as the source of
progress, the centering of women's agency through spiritual
equality, and the reworking of the private and public spheres. This
book will appeal to anyone with interest in international women's
movements, interdisciplinary studies, cultural studies, women's
studies, post-colonial studies, Islamic studies, and Asian studies.
