Abstract
Apprehensions of mainstream Islam in democratising Indonesia have led to reappropriations of pluralist jargons popularised by the previous authoritarian government. This chapter focuses on the responses of the young, heterogeneous, educated middle class identifying as ethnic and religious minorities towards culturally more visible Islamic television drama. It describes the way modern religious and ethnic groups subjugate traditional and indigenous religious and ethnic groups in local, everyday contexts. ‘Local Subjugations’ analyses the way Islamic television drama continues to protract the marginalisation of religious and ethnic groups that were lumped as ‘primitive’ during the authoritarian regime.
