Description

Twice in this century popular revolts against colonial rule have occured in the Banten district of West Java.

These revolts, conducted largely under an Islamic leadership, also proclaimed themselves Communist.

Islamic Communism is seemingly a paradox. This is especially the case when one considers that probably no religion has proved more resistant to Communist ideology than Islam. Michael Williams here details the complicated history of the Bantenese revolts in the twentieth century and probes the ideological riddle of Islamic Communism.

Modern history is replete with examples of regions with a long history of organizing themselves politically to resist intrusion on their territory, resources, and people.

This book establishes that in Indonesia, the Bantenese were among the most practiced exponents of resistance.
