Islam, Humanity and the Indonesian Identity
Reflections on History
2018 || Paperback || Ahmad Syafii Maarif || Leiden University Press
Islam exists in global history with its richly variegated cultural and social realities. When these specific cultural contexts are marginalized, Islam is reduced to an ahistorical religion without the ability to contribute to humanity. This limited understanding of Islam has been a contributing factor in many of the violent conflicts in the present day.
Reflecting on Islam in Indonesia, the world’s third largest democracy, supporting the largest Muslim population, Ahmad Syafii Maarif argues...

Staging China
The Politics of Mass Spectacle

Colonialism and Slavery
An Alternative History of the Port City of Rotterdam
2021 || Paperback || Gert Oostindie || Leiden University Press || met inkijkexemplaar
In this book the focus uniquely lies on the colonial and slavery part of a city. Rotterdam, the second-largest Dutch city, is one of the leading European port cities. Its maritime expansion was intrinsically linked to Dutch colonialism, including slave trading and colonial slavery in the Americas, Africa and Asia. This painful history sits uneasy with the city’s contemporary profile, with its large number of ‘new Rotterdammers’ with colonial roots. The present volume provides a summary...
