Beschrijving

This ethnographic book deals with the emergence of the Wali Pitu (seven saints) tradition and Muslim pilgrimage in Bali, Indonesia. It touches upon the issues of translocal connectivity between Java and Bali, Islam-Hindu relationship, relations between Muslim groups, and questions of authority and authenticity of saint worship tradition. It offers a new perspective on Bali, seeing the island as a site of cultural motion straddling in between Islam and Hinduism with complexities of local figurations, and belongings of ‘Muslim Balinese’. The study also urges the intricate relationship between religion and tourism, between devotion and economy, and shows that the Wali Pitu tradition has facilitated the transgression of spatial and cultural boundaries.Syaifudin Zuhri is a lecturer at State Islamic University of Sayyid Ali Rahmatullah/UIN SATU and a former research fellow at Berlin Graduate School Muslim Cultures and Societies/BGSMCS. He graduated from the State Islamic University (Universitas Islam Negeri/UIN) of Sunan Kalijaga-Indonesia, majoring in Sociology of Religion (2005) and obtained his Master’s Degree in Islamic Studies at Leiden University (2009). In 2018, he finished his doctoral studies at Humboldt University of Berlin specialising in Southeast Asian studies.This is a highly original study, very well executed, and an important contribution to the study of Indonesian Islam. A surprisingly mature work for what is obviously the author’s first book. It is very rich in new empirical information; the analysis is sophisticated and shows that the author is not only a perceptive observer but also well versed in the relevant literature. The manuscript has a clear and balanced structure; each chapter presents significant new insights.– Martin van Bruinessen, Utrecht University
