Bandit Saints of Java - How Java’s eccentric saints are challenging fundamentalist Islam in modern Indonesia

Bandit Saints of Java is a work of nonfiction that delves deep under the surface of modern Indonesia, exploring personalities and stories in the wacky world of local pilgrimage. It paints an astonishing portrait of Islam as it is practised today – largely invisible to journalists, scholars and tourists – by many of the 130 million people of Java.
