The essays in \u003ci\u003eReligious Pluralism in Indonesia\u003c\/i\u003e explore how the state, civil society groups, and individual Indonesians have experienced the attempted integration of minority and majority religious practices and faiths across the archipelagic state over the more than half century since Pancasila. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe chapters in \u003ci\u003eReligious Pluralism in Indonesia\u003c\/i\u003e offer analyses of contemporary phenomena and events; the changing legal and social status of certain minority groups; inter-faith relations; and the role of Islam in Indonesia's foreign policy. Amidst infringements of human rights, officially recognized minorities--Protestants, Catholics, Hindus, Buddhists and Confucians--have had occasional success advocating for their rights through the Pancasila framework. Others, from Ahmadi and Shi'i groups to atheists and followers of new religious groups, have been left without safeguards, demonstrating the weakness of Indonesia's institutionalized \"pluralism.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eContributors: Lorraine Aragon, Christopher Duncan, Kikue Hamayotsu, Robert Hefner, James Hoesterey, Sidney Jones, Mona Lohanda, Michele Picard, Evi Sutrisno, Silvia Vignato\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Chiara Formichi\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1501760440\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781501760440\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Southeast Asia Program Publications\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/15\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 276\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.90lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.62d","brand":"Chiara Formichi","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43987686293759,"sku":"9781501760440","price":37.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_aef8659c-d633-41b8-8fa3-32334d2c45f4.jpg?v=1683290418","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/religious-pluralism-in-indonesia-chiara-formichi-9781501760440","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
