FRIAS Project
Censorship in Malay Islamic and Exegetical Works.
In this study, the approach to Shi‘i textual materials in the Malay-Indonesian World is considered. This project will examine the process of censorship from the 19th century onwards in two important genres of written sources used by Malays, i.e. popular Islamic literature and Qur’anic commentaries. This interdisciplinary study bridges the religion, history, politics and culture of the Middle Eastern and Malay-Indonesian worlds.
