Abstract

Male ulama have significantly influenced the feminist movement in Indonesia by providing religious interpretations that are attuned to women's experiences and actively addressing injustices faced by women. This research delves into the transformative journeys of four male ulama as they adopted pro-feminist stances and engaged with the feminist movement. Utilizing a phenomenological approach and in-depth interviews for data collection, the study focuses on how these ulama promote gender justice and embrace feminist principles. The findings reveal that the journey to pro-feminism for these ulama involves multiple phases: recognizing sensitizing events, cultivating feminist consciousness, reinforcing feminist values, and taking tangible actions against women's injustices. In their advocacy for gender justice, these ulama have crafted a methodology for interpreting religious texts that centers women's experiences as crucial to understanding faith. This interpretative approach not only supports a gender-just mindset but also seeks to integrate gender justice principles into daily practices. Ultimately, the study illustrates the essential roles male ulama play in fostering a pro-feminist environment and encouraging societal change regarding gender issues in Indonesia.

Abstract

Digital space has now become a medium for contestation and competition, including in the field of religion, in the context of Indonesia's multireligious society. YouTube is one of the social media that has become a digital space that can give rise to polemics of intolerance in religious harmony in Indonesia. The aim of this study is to find out the polemic of religious intolerance on YouTube channels. Using qualitative methods and a netnographic approach, data collection was carried out using YouTube media with content that is in accordance with the orientation of this study, namely the polemic of religious intolerance. The results show that there are 15 YouTube channels that upload 20 video contents about religious debates, responses to the uploaded videos show various comments from netizens who claim the truth of their respective religions. The implications of claims regarding religious truth often manifest in intolerance, conflict, hatred, and even war. This study is expected to contribute to the prevention of religious intolerance and support religious moderation in order to achieve a more harmonious and tolerant religious life.

Abstract

Despite its peripheral position amid the rapid growth of Depok, a buffer city of Jakarta, an Islamic organization, Muhammadiyah, can still develop and contest both at the grassroots and social-urban levels. This article employs a multiple aspirational contestation framework to analyze Muhammadiyah in Depok as a case study. The research utilizes qualitative methodology through in-depth interviews and observations involving the organization’s members and administrators. The research findings demonstrate that Muhammadiyah in Depok can be categorized as either native- or migrant-patterned. The organizational structure of the movement is characterized by its grassroots level, the establishment of trans-local networks, and a vertical structure consisting of branches (organizing Muhammadiyah at the sub-district level) and regions (organizing Muhammadiyah at the city level). Consequently, Muhammadiyah has the capacity to organize itself within the locality and advocate for the socio-religious aspirations it upholds within the context of the dynamic urban-social milieu. The organization at such a local level also shows collective resilience and capacity to grow in the dynamic buffer city of Jakarta.

Abstract

Divorce among young couples in urban Zanzibar has emerged as a critical social welfare concern shaped by Islamic marital norms, rapid urbanization, and shifting gender dynamics in Mtoni Ward, West District “A.” The 2022 Population and Housing Census reports a 6.2% divorce rate in the Urban West Region, with women disproportionately affected, yet existing literature remains theoretically limited. This study employs a qualitative desk review of secondary data, integrating peer-reviewed literature and census evidence, guided by Social Exchange Theory, Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs, and Community Development Theory. Findings indicate that unemployment, economic insecurity, emotional neglect, poor communication, and weakening community mediation structures jointly accelerate marital dissolution. The study demonstrates that divorce is a structurally embedded social welfare issue rather than an individual failure. It calls for gender-responsive interventions, including premarital education, economic empowerment, and sustainable post-divorce support systems.

Abstract

Urbanization is a socio economic phenomenon that continues to develop in various regions, including Indonesia, and significantly influences local economic transformation and social change. This study examines how urbanization shapes adaptive economic strategies, social mobility, and economic conditions in Bone Regency, Indonesia. A qualitative case study approach was employed using the analytical frameworks of Miles & Huberman and Spradley. Informants were selected purposively, while data validity was ensured through triangulation techniques. The findings reveal that urbanization is driven by economic pressures, employment opportunities, accessibility, and technological development. Urbanization encourages people to adopt adaptive livelihood strategies through temporary and circular mobility between rural and urban areas. At the same time, urbanization contributes to social change, labor transformation, and increased urban economic activity. However, it also generates challenges such as urban poverty, income inequality, unemployment, congestion, and the growth of informal settlements. Therefore, sustainable policies are needed to balance urban growth, local economic transformation, and social welfare in both rural and urban areas.

Abstract

Inclusive economic development is essential for reducing rural inequality and social exclusion in Indonesia, where structural barriers continue to limit financial access, gender participation, and community empowerment. This study examines the Gerakan Masyarakat Pedesaan Lumajang (Gemapalu) as a grassroots model of inclusive rural development. Using a qualitative case study approach, data were collected through in-depth interviews, participant observation, and document analysis conducted between 2021 and 2025. The findings reveal that Gemapalu promotes inclusion through three integrated pillars: cooperative-based financial services, community production systems, and local distribution networks. These initiatives are supported by participatory governance, gender-transformative practices, and digital financial innovations. Rather than merely expanding economic opportunities, Gemapalu reshapes local power relations by strengthening community agency and women's participation. The study also highlights tensions between grassroots initiatives and state-led cooperative programs, demonstrating that inclusive development is a contested process shaped by institutions, power dynamics, and evolving social relations.

Abstract

Donald Trump’s election is a contradictory phenomenon in the context of democracy in the US and the world at large. Donald Trump represents the antithesis of the democratization process currently underway in various parts of the world. Donald Trump implements anti-Muslim immigration policies and fosters nationalism through violent means. This study employs a qualitative approach, drawing data from articles written by experts, as well as recent literature reviews or relevant studies authored by experts and published in leading international journals, along with books and research reports covering the second phase—spanning from Donald Trump’s campaign through his election as president in 2024. The results of the analysis show an increase in Islamophobia in the US during the campaign period leading up to Donald Trump’s election. Donald Trump’s election ultimately sparked concerns and fears of discrimination, persecution, and physical violence against immigrants in the US. Donald Trump implemented anti-Muslim immigration policies and fostered nationalism through violent means. These findings suggest that political nationalism and anti-Muslim rhetoric during the Trump era reinforced Islamophobia in the United States, jeopardizing relations between Muslim immigrants and non-immigrants. This, of course, has an impact on the development of democracy in the United States and in countries with Muslim-majority populations like Indonesia.
