Description

<p>This article focuses on the Indonesian Muslim expatriates' halal food practices in the Netherlands. How do they live as minorities? How have they changed their thoughts and perceptions according to the surrounding circumstances and changing times? How do they choose their way of eating?</p> <p>Like other European societies, the Netherlands is experiencing Islamization that is occurring due to the inflow of Muslim immigrants, and which is happening in the midst of various global trends, such as (1) the increased risk of cross-contamination and adulteration as a result of developments in food-processing technologies and more complicated manufacturing processes involving food additives, (2) the influence of halal certification systems which started in Southeast Asia and spread out to the world, and (3) the global halal food business boom. The settlement of Muslim immigrants within Dutch society has progressed under the immigration integration policy since the 1990's. In the past decade, more and more Turkish and Moroccan butchers are selling fresh halal meat in the Netherlands, and general retailers also started to set up halal sections offering various processed meat products. The number and variety of eateries that explicitly proclaim their halal-ness are increasing, making it easier for Muslim residents to obtain halal food.</p> <p>Nonetheless, the Netherlands is a non-Muslim country, and can be defined as a marginal area of Islamic society. Meanwhile, some 87 percent of the Indonesian population is Muslim. Indonesia has the largest Muslim population in the world, and is regarded as one of the leading countries in terms of halal certification systems, with halal-certified products commonly distributed throughout the country.</p> <p>(View PDF for the rest of the abstract.)</p>
