Deskripsi
NUSANTARANOLOGY: The Imagination of Nationhood and the Science of the Archipelago by Kamaruzzaman Bustamam-Ahmad is a landmark work that reimagines Southeast Asia not as a periphery of world history, but as a civilization with its own science, memory, and imagination of nationhood.
What does it mean to think from the archipelago rather than merely about it? Blending anthropology, history, philosophy, and Islamic thought, this book introduces “Nusantaranology” as a bold new framework for understanding the Malay-Indonesian world on its own terms — its cosmologies, its politics, and its enduring dream of unity across a thousand islands.
Rigorous yet richly readable, it speaks to scholars of Southeast Asia, students of nationalism and religion, and every reader curious about how ideas of nation, identity, and civilization are imagined at the crossroads of Asia.
Inside this book
- An original theory of the archipelago as a site of knowledge and civilization.
