Women, the Recited Qur´an, and Islamic Music in Contemporary Indonesia´´ takes readers to the heart of religious musical praxis in Indonesia, home to the largest Muslim population in the world. Anne K. Rasmussen explores a rich public soundscape, where women recite the divine texts of the Qur´an, and where an extraordinary diversity of Arab-influenced Islamic musical styles and genres, also performed by women, flourishes. Based on unique and revealing ethnographic research beginning at the end of Suharto´s ´´New Order´´ and continuing into the era of ´´Reformation,´´ the book considers the powerful role of music in the expression of religious nationalism. In particular, it focuses on musical style, women´s roles, and the ideological and aesthetic issues raised by the Indonesian style of recitation.
