In particular, it explains the causes of elite and mass conversions to Islam in Bolaang-Mongondow and to Protestant Christianity in Minahasa and Sangir-Talaud in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. It devotes special attention to the nineteenth century transformations in the colonial political economy and their broader social and religious consequences in the region. It illustrates that notwithstanding local particularities, the mass conversions to Islam and Christianity in these areas shared a similar cause. This dissertation thus diverges from the existing scholarly literature on Indonesia that often views Christian and Islamic conversions as separate phenomena having distinct and divergent roots.
