Description

Explore a new dimension of Malay culture through the lens of martial arts and spiritual practice. While many accounts of Malay culture focus on shamanism, dance, and medicine, this work provides a more complete view of Malay mysticism and religion by examining the role of silat. By studying the Malay martial art of silat, readers gain a deeper understanding of sorcery, magic, and religious traditions. This book highlights the importance of the guru silat (silat master) and how their role changes the social anthropology of the region. It presents silat not just as a physical discipline, but as a form of embodied war magic that connects the physical and spiritual worlds. This volume is an essential resource for those interested in the intersection of martial arts, Sufi mysticism, and Southeast Asian social history. It offers a unique perspective that moves beyond traditional performance studies to reveal the deep connections between movement, belief, and magic in Malay society.
