Islam Observed - Religious Development in Morocco and Indonesia

'In four brief chapters, ' writes Clifford Geertz in his preface, 'I have attempted both to lay out a general framework for the comparative analysis of religion and to apply it to a study of the development of a supposedly single creed, Islam, in two quite contrasting civilizations, the Indonesian and to Moroccan.'
