summarize what you regard as the commonalities and differences in the religious resurgence, citizenship, and gender realities in Indonesia, Burma, and the Philippines. As you reflect on the religious resurgence and citizen-making in each of your three country examples, discuss how their refiguration in recent years has been influenced by state-level interventions and other social and political developments – including those affecting ethnic relations, women’s education, the rise of a new middle class, and struggles for control of the state. How have a religious resurgence and national politics affected the private lives and public activities of women in each of your country’s cases? Take care also to discuss the way in which nation-making and religious resurgence have impacted citizenship and equality in your three case countries. Has a shared and egalitarian citizenship inclusive of all ethnic and religious groups taken hold? Or, drawing on Jean Beaman’s notion of cultural citizenship, have political developments in the three countries you discuss favored the emergence of an ethnically-, religiously-, or regionally-“differentiated” and thus unequal citizenship?
