Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Review Method: Peer Reviewed Abstract: This project is a comparative study of nationalism and the politics of language in Muslim minority conflicts of secession among the Moros of Mindanao in the southern Philippines and the Acehnese of Sumatra at the western edge of Indonesia. The objective is to advance and correct a general theory of nationalism which argues that language, as the primary element of culture, is the locus of nationalist identities and ideologies in modernizing societies. It has been argued by Ernest Gellner, Adrian Hastings and other prominent theorists of nationalism that Muslim populations are the exception to this rule, in that Islamic religious identity precludes the emergence of an ethnic or cultural national identity. As a result, claims for autonomy among Muslim minorities in multiethnic states are typically perceived as religious conflicts rather than national or ethnic conflicts. This project tests this assertion by gauging the specific importance of language in secessionist conflicts among distinct Muslim minorities in states with both Muslim majorities (Indonesia) and non-Muslim majorities (Philippines). Following Gellner's model of the modern nation, industrialization rebuilds social structures to create citizens sharing a culture of seamless communication, most often cultivated by state education. As a result, social mobility requires fluency in this shared literate culture. Hence, it is proposed that Muslim minorities, despite any peculiar properties of political Islam, are not exempt from this dynamic. In this view, Muslim minorities engaged in national politics (including the Moros and Acehnese) should be expected to behave as ethnic minorities -- advancing and protecting a minority culture and language -- irrespective of their faith.
