"Examines the sociopolitical roles that sharia plays in Malaysia today. Drawing on
fieldwork and textual research, it probes the contested implementation of Islamic
family and criminal laws and sharia economics, and delineates cultural frameworks
for understanding sharia among Muslims and non-Muslims. These include the views of
Malay secular nationalists, political Islamic activists, Muslim feminists, Islamic
NGOs, Sufi revivalists, liberal Muslim reformers, opposition party leaders, a non-Muslim
social democratic political party, and liberal rights organizations. This thoughtful
ethnography demonstrates that the way people think about sharia is often entangled
with notions about race, gender equality, nation, liberal pluralism, citizenship,
and universal human rights. Close investigation of the way diverse members of Malaysian
society speak, write, and think about sharia reveals that ideas about sharia are not
isolated from or always opposed to liberal pluralism and secularism. Intra-Muslim
contests as well as Muslim and non-Muslim skirmishes chronicle revealing faultlines
and suggest areas of potential compromise"
