Contents:
Conflicting visions and constructing identities: beyond splendid isolation -- The Western mission enterprise and the New Order's New Society: instilling the visions -- Jayapura and transformations of the New Society: down from the mountain -- Secularizing society: the struggle of Christianity in West Papua -- The vision of the church: the New Jerusalem -- The desecularization of Dani religiosity and identity: "all in the making" -- Conclusion: beyond mission Christianity.
Summary: "Farhadian provides the first major study of a highland Papuan group in an urban context, which distinguishes it from the typical highland Melanesian ethnography. Incorporating cultural and structural approaches, the book affords a fascinating look into the complex relationship among Christianity, Islam, nation making, and indigenous traditions. Based on research over many years, Christianity, Islam, and Nationalism in Indonesia offers an abundance of new material on religious and political events in West Papua. The book underlines the heart of Christian-Muslim rivalries, illuminating the fate of religion in late-modern times."--Jacket
