This book presents a genealogy of the social networks and power struggles of the major influential group of Indonesian educated Muslims called 'intelligentsia'. In this effort, the longue duree approach is combined with an interactive, inter-disciplinary and inter-textual method to better understand the various underlying impulses and interactions contributing to continuity and change in the long term development of the Muslim intelligentsia and its relation to power. In doing so, it provides a major and important contribution to the study of social-history of contemporary Indonesia which makes a plausible claim to being the first of its kind.
