DOC Cyril of Alexandria (The Early Church Fathers) by Norman Russell in History

Description

Drawing on previously unavailable archival material; this book argues that Indonesian nationalism rested on Islamic ecumenism heightened by colonial rule and the pilgrimage. The award winning author Laffan contrasts the latter experience with life in Cairo; where some Southeast Asians were drawn to both reformism and nationalism. After demonstrating the close linkage between Cairene ideology and Indonesian nationalism; Laffan shows how developments in the Middle East continued to play a role in shaping Islamic politics in colonial Indonesia.
