Modernization, Tradition and Identity By Euis Nurlaelawati Amsterdam University Press, 2010 304 pages 10.8 Mb
Drawing on Max Weber’s approach to legal rationalization—which stimulated a transfer from the patrimonial tradition of law to a more systematic and rational legal code—Modernization, Tradition and Identity investigates how and why Islamic justice in Indonesia has evolved over the years. Euis Nurlaelawati delves into classic Islamic legal texts—known as the fiqh—and shows their significance in Indonesian state and Islamic family law, how they are interpreted by judges to justify deviations from state legislation, and the role they play in debates between Muslim scholars and religious court judges.
