Description
Résumé:The author takes a critical look at the modernization-secularization thesis and explores why in Indonesia Islam is the most important among the competing ideologies. He concludes that the major reasons for Islam's popularity in the country are the "backwardness" of folk culture, the minimalist nature of Pancasila (state ideology) morality, the foreignness of Christianity, and the political suppression of communism.
