In Riots, Pogroms, Jihad, John T. Sidel situates terrorist bombings and other "jihadist"
activities in Indonesia against the backdrop of earlier episodes of religious violence in the country.
Sidel explains the overall pattern of change in religious violence over a ten-year period in terms of the
broader discursive, political, and sociological contexts in which they unfolded. Successive shifts in the
incidence of violence -- its forms, locations, targets, perpetrators, mobilizational processes, and outcomes -- correspond,
Sidel suggests, to related shifts in the very structures of religious authority and identity in Indonesia.
Sidel concludes by reflecting on the broader implications of the pattern observed in Indonesia both for understanding
Islamic terrorism in particular and for analyzing religious violence in all its varieties.
