In this book, Clifford Geertz explores the dynamics of religious history in Morocco and Indonesia, two extremes of Islamic civilization. The author analyzes both the common elements and the differences between the two cultures, revealing the strategies that identify them as Muslim and how, despite sharing a source of inspiration in Mecca, they are oriented in opposite directions. This analysis offers a deep perspective on the diversity within the Islamic world and its religious development.
