Abstract
"This chapter critically evaluates several of the dominant narratives about globalization and religion from an Indonesian perspective. I examine the metaphors of: 1. globalization as a fundamentalist religion, 2. globalization as a neo-colonial conspiracy, 3. globalization as progress and development, and 4. globalization as the capitalist world system. I find all these narratives useful but limited. They are all over-simplistic and conceal as much as they reveal, especially when viewed from a perspective that places Indonesia at the centre of the world.", p.89.
