Ummah Yet Proletariat explores how Islam and Marxism were both integral to Indonesian politics from the earliest days of the anticolonial movement to the imposition of the autocratic Soeharto regime in 1966. Lin Hongxuan demonstrates that many Indonesian Muslims adapted Marxist ideas, while many Indonesian Marxists found ways to square their Islamic identity with their political commitments. In doing so, he upends the conventional, state-driven narrative that Islam and Marxism are mutually exclusive and argues that these confluences were the product of Indonesian participation in broader networks of intellectual exchange across Asia, Europe, and the Middle East.
