Masyumi proposed a vision of society and government which was not bound by a literalist application of Islamic doctrine but rather inspired by the values of Islam. It set out moderate policies which were tolerant towards other religious communities in Indonesia. Its achievements were nonetheless precarious: it was eventually outlawed in 1960. Many of its leaders then turned to integralism, a radical doctrine echoing certain characteristics of 19th-century Catholic integralism, which contributed to the advent of Muslim neo-fundamentalism in Indonesia. This book examines the Masyumi Party from its roots in early 20th-century Muslim reformism to its contemporary legacy Bibliography Includes bibliographical references (pages 464-476) and index Notes English translation of the author's original French work This work is licensed under a Creative Commons license https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/legalcode Description based on print version record; resource not viewed In Books at JSTOR: Open Access JSTOR OAPEN (Open Access Publishing in European Networks) OAPEN Subject Masyumi (Organization) -- History SUBJECT Masyumi (Organization) fast Subject Islam and politics -- Indonesia -- History -- 20th century Islam and state -- Indonesia -- History -- 20th century Political parties -- Indonesia -- History -- 20th century Asian history.
