1This book was made possible by a research grant from Irasec. Particular acknowledgment should be made of the female activists who have inspired my work and those who have permitted me to share their wonderful images: Zillah Eisenstein (Ithaca College), Gadis Arivia (Universitas Indonesia-UI), Ayu Utami (Salihara), Bettina David (University of Hamburg), Soe Tjen Marching (SOAS London), Nong Mahmada (Freedom Institute), Mariana Amiruddin (Jurnal Perempuan), Ahmad Badawi (YLSKAR), Vera Kartika Giantari (SPEK-HAM), Chika Noya (WPF), Yulia Sugandi (Univ Muenster), Tia Pamungkas (UGM), Yayah Khisbiyah and M Thoyibi (UMS), and Tri Hastuti Nur (Aisyiyah). Writing a book requires different kinds of stimulation and support, and there have been tales of woe but also of inspiration. I would like to acknowledge my debt to my thoughtful friends.
2It is clear from the title that this study was a collaborative effort. Indeed, this paper reached fruition only through the collective energy of many, starting from the time I created Jejer Wadon (‘Narrative of Women’ in Javanese), a community of local artists, feminists and activists residing in Solo, Sragen, Karanganyar, Boyolali, Klaten and Wonogiri on 8 March 2012. I am grateful to the many individuals who supported this effort, especially the students, mothers and activists who helped with the interviews. These interviews are noteworthy in their selectivity and correct implementation of effective assumptions of the meaning of the jilbab. It is our hope that this book will help everyone to understand the multivocal meanings of jilbab and make apparent the futility of imposing one single definition of this piece of cloth.
3I sincerely thank Irasec for its support of and work on this project, and I must publicly acknowledge the invaluable work of Aan Rukmana and Najamudin, both from Universitas Paramadina Jakarta, whose tireless interviews made this book a reality. All my gratitude too to Rémy Madinier for encouraging me to delve into the mystery of jilbab among Javanese women politicians and for providing invaluable insight from a political science perspective. I am also indebted to Benoît de Tréglodé and Jérémy Jammes for their help with permissions and publication. With characteristic generosity, Irasec took the time to read and comment on several sections, and this attentiveness and editorial support is greatly appreciated. Finally, my deepest thanks go to Ivan Ufuq Isfahan, my autistic son, now twelve years old and still too young to appreciate what his Mum is doing.
4Despite every effort to trace or conceal names of interviewees prior to publication, this has not always been easy. I apologize for any apparent infringement of names and if notified, I will be pleased to rectify any errors or omissions at the earliest opportunity. It goes without saying that any remaining errors are my own.
