Durga's Mosque sets the Central Javanese version of Islam firmly in this unique historical and cultural context. At a time of so much misunderstanding about Islam and the way its has rooted itself in local cultures, there could not be a more important book than this. Headley's labour of love should be read by all who wish to gain a deeper understanding of Java and its rich syncretic traditons.
