Book Description
Religious and ethnic violence between Indonesia's Muslims and Christians
escalated dramatically just before and after President Suharto resigned in 1998.
In this first major ethnographic study of Christianization in Indonesia,
Lorraine Aragon delineates colonial and postcolonial circumstances contributing
to the dynamics of these contemporary conflicts.Aragon's ethnography of
Indonesian Christian minorities in Sulawesi combines a political economy of
colonial missionization with a microanalysis of shifting religious ideology and
practice. Fields of the Lord challenges much comparative religion scholarship by
contending that religions, like contemporary cultural groups, be located in
their spheres of interaction rather than as the abstracted cognitive and
behavioral systems conceived by many adherents, modernist states, and Western
scholars.
