        abstract = {The second book chapter in this series, titled Mainstreaming
Indonesian Islam: Family, Youth, Wellbeing, and the Path to Social
Transformation, presents a rich body of research and observation
that broadly discusses the dynamics of Indonesian Muslim society.
Indonesia, as a case and example, offers valuable lessons regarding the
relationship between religion and social life, ranging from aspects of
family, wellbeing, to its relationship with the state. This series provides
profound insights into how Islam in Indonesia adapts to contemporary
social and cultural developments while still maintaining traditional
and local values. By exploring various issues related to family, youth,
and wellbeing, the book demonstrates how social transformation can
occur within the context of religious and cultural diversity in Indonesia,
offering a model for other Muslim countries in managing the relationship
between religion, society, and the state.
In the first chapter, Sophia Rose Arjana, a scholar from Western
Kentucky University in the USA, thoughtfully explores the themes of
postcolonialism and remembrance in the study of Islam. As a scholar
focused on the Islamic world, particularly in Iran and Indonesia,
Arjana emphasizes the significance of memory and remembrance
in understanding Islam. Her fieldwork, which involves immersing
herself in Islamic communities, embodies the spirit of postcolonialism.
Through her comprehensive approach, Arjana reveals how collective
memory and historical narratives influence the understanding of Islam
in postcolonial countries like Indonesia. She references her previous
books and other publications to establish a well-rounded academic
position within the field. This scholarly grounding strengthens her
analysis and adds depth to her argument, demonstrating her expertise
and the significance of memory in shaping contemporary Islamic
thought. By investigating direct experiences and interactions with
Muslim communities, she illustrates the impact of postcolonialism on
Islamic identity and practices within a global framework. Additionally,
Arjana effectively underscores the need to critique historical narratives
shaped by colonial powers, showing how collective memory can be a
powerful tool for Muslims to reconstruct their identity and pride in the
contemporary era.}
