Tinjauan Perspektif Intelegensia Muslim terhadap Genealogi Kelas Menengah Muslim di Indonesia
Abstract: This article aims to
analyze genealogies of Muslim middle class in Indonesia. It can be traced from
three primary sources such as bourgeoisies, pilgrimage trip (h}ajj) to Mecca
and Medina, and education. These three sources have intertwined each other to
build up Muslim middle class in social strata system that branch off in two
model; bourguoises class and intellectual class. In this section, bourguoises
tends to form trade alliance against Chinese domaniance and western traders who
had been given privilieges from colonial regime. Meanwhile, intellectual class
had focused to form ideal state for umat in Indonesia. Both classes are united
altogether to form Islamic state as ultimate goals. High tension of political
constellation in post colonial period had resulted in nationalist group as
regulator class in Indonesia. Regarding political negotiation from nationalist,
Indonesian Muslim middle class focused to establish Muslim society according to
Medinan principles. Modern influence based on western style has affected
Islamic values in grass roots level, and this resulted in the rise of modern
Muslim society that embraced western style of life.
