Chapter 5 looks at movement mobilization within formal institutions and specifically efforts to conquer and transform key sites of socialization in pursuit of alternative sociopolitical visions. This chapter examines the aboveground sites through a case study of a public Imam-Hatip school and traces the Islamists’ persistent efforts to change the nature and purpose of schools to accomplish a variety of goals. Imam-Hatips have been central to the Islamist resistance by serving as recruitment grounds for political parties and securing voter constituencies but also by creating a certain type of individual through dispositional training or, more precisely, countertraining. This chapter demonstrates that such countertraining undermines established (secular) dispositions, rebuilds personal habits in line with alternative (Islamic) standards, and situates this self against competing political projects. Overall, it argues, the Imam-Hatips are critical institutions for observing both the macro contentions over the role of Islam in education and the micro processes of creating moral selves whose personal choices and public conduct are constituted by an all-encompassing framework that is, in the view of revivalists, informed by God’s eternal intent.
