  • Reviews and Endorsements
    • Chaplin’s book presents a superb study of Indonesian Salafism. Rich in narrative detail, acutely observed, theoretically engaged and elegantly written, this is a deeply informative work on an increasingly influential movement within Indonesian Islam.
      —Greg Fealy, Australian National University
    • [A] carefully argued and sophisticated analysis of Salafism in Indonesia … . Relevant well beyond the Indonesian context, this book is an important contribution to the study of Islam. It will be widely read.
      —David Kloos, KITLV
    • Dr Chaplin fills a major gap in our understanding of how non-violent conservative Islamist movements make use of democratic space to expand their social and political influence. Highly readable, the book makes the beliefs and worldviews of Indonesian Salafis accessible through engaging profiles of individual activists.
