This book explores the relationship between gender, religion and
political action in Indonesia, examining the patterns of gender
orders that have prevailed in recent history, and demonstrating the
different forms of social power this has afforded to women. It sets
out the part played by women in the nationalist movement, and the
role of the women's movement in the structuring of the independent
Indonesian state, the politics of the immediate post-independence
period and the transition to the authoritarian New Order. It
analyses in detail the gender relations of the New Order regime,
focused around the unitary family form supposed by the family
system expounded in the New Order ideology and the contradictory
implications of the opening up of the economy to foreign capital
and ideas, for gender relations. It examines the forms of political
activism that were possible for the women's movement under the New
Order, and the role it played in the fall of Suharto and the
transition to democracy. The relationship between Islam and women
in Indonesia is also addressed, with particular focus on the way in
which Islam became a critical focus for political dissent in the
late New Order period. Overall, this book provides a thorough
investigation of the relationship between gender, religion and
democracy in Indonesia, and is a vital resource for students of
gender studies and Indonesian affairs.
