Abstrak:Dalam kerangka pemikiran struktural-fungsional masyarakat digambarkan terdiri dari sejumlah struktur yang memiliki fungsi sendiri sehingga menciptakan equilibrium yang harmonis berdasarkan solidaritas sosial yang dibangun oleh nilai dan norma kolektif. Begitu pula masyarakat Sunda terikat oleh nilai budaya bersama yang diwariskan secara turun temurun. Mayoritas orang Sunda beragama Islam, yang mengindikasikan bahwa budaya masyarakat Sunda bersumber dari, atau sesuai dengan, nilai-nilai ajaran Islam, sehingga melahirkan ungkapan bahwa “Sunda adalah Islam.” Kenyataan adanya kelompok yang bukan Muslim tetapi mereka masih bagian dari dan mengaku sebagai orang Sunda menunjukkan keterbatasan model pemikiran di atas. Tulisan ini berupaya membahas wacana “Sunda adalah Islam” dengan meng- gunakan teori identitas sebagai suatu kategori etnik, problematika dan implikasi yang mungkin ditimbulkannya.Abstract:Islam, Ethnicity and the Politics of Identity: The Sundanese Case. In the framework of structural-functionalist thought, society is depicted to constitute from structures belonging to separate function that create harmonious equilibrium based on social solidarity founded in collective norms and values. Accordingly, the Sundanese community is also bound by their communal cultural values received through their ancestors. The majority of the Sundanese are Muslims which indicate that their social culture originates from, or in line with, the values of Islamic teachings that led to the expression that “Sunda is Islam”. The fact that there exist groups of Sundanese who are non-Muslim but they still belong to and convicted to be Sundanese show the shortcomings of the above-mentioned model of thought. This writing is an attempt to discuss “Sunadanese Is Islam” discourse by utilizing identity theory as an ethnic category, problems and implication that minght be drawn there in.Kata Kunci: antropologi, Sunda, Islam, etnisitas, politik identitasDownloads
