"More compelling than Clifford Geertz' The Religion of Java"

by lorenz on Oct 18, 2005 in religion cosmology, Asia, books

Danny Yee reviews Varieties of Javanese Religion: An Anthropological Account by Andrew Beatty and finds this book "in many ways more compelling" than Clifford Geertz' The Religion of Java. Beattys book is based on fieldwork carried out in an Osing village near Banyuwangi, in East Java. "Even those without a specific interest in Java may find in Varieties of Javanese Religion a novel perspective on religious pluralism and the coexistence of diverse forms of religion", Danny Yee writes
