Indonesia has experienced numerous outbreaks of violence since the mid 1990s and these have commonly been associated with religious or ethnic tensions. This book takes a longer historical perspective and identifies other periods of violence which it suggests correspond to changes in the structures of religious authority. Furthermore it is suggested outbursts such as these can be seen in other countries where the benefits expected to flow from greater religiosity fail to materialise or where other events or pressures upset previously if precariously balanced religious and political institutions.
