POLITIK, DOMINASI DAN POPULARITI DALAM SEJARAH ISLAM NUSANTARA (POLITICS, DOMINANCE AND POPULARITY IN ISLAMIC HISTORY OF THE ARCHIPELAGO)

This article discusses politics of colonial domination and popularization followed by a period of independence in the Malay lands by a ruler who tends to be dominated by secular Muslims on the grounds of nationalism and narrow nationality. This review is qualitative by using literature review. Studies have found that the size of truth is no longer what it is, but to who it is. That power of politics has influenced dominance and popularity as it is often used as a tool of legitimacy, power and purpose and interests. The reviewer suggests that between the scientific language and the political language -parti- that often blend into one and it is difficult to separate it needs to be reconsidered for objective truth.
