商品簡介
Bradley examines the origins and development of the Patani (nineteenth-century kingdom along the Malay border region) knowledge networks that became a major force behind Islamic textual and reformist movements in Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and other parts of the Indian Ocean littoral from the late-eighteenth-to-early-twentieth centuries. He investigates the shifting patterns of social and cultural capital that accompanied its political collapse, the exodus, and the subsequent rise of Islamic scholarship and Pondok (Islamic schools). Some displaced scholars settled in Mecca and were led by scholar Shaykh Da’ud bin ‘Abd Allah al-Fatani, whose many works became foundational for a new text-based type of Islam and ultimately redounded to Southeast Asia to become the core texts throughout the region. Seven chapters and afterword are: the rise of the Orangkaya: the social world of Patani, thirteenth-seventeenth centuries; the five Patani-Siam wars: the destruction of the Orangkaya; Meccan fusion: Patani, mobility, and Islamic textualism; new power and authority: ritual practice and the journey of faith; linking centers: Mecca, Southeast Asia, and the Patani knowledge networks; institutionalizing moral authority: the making of the Pondok zone.
