Mark R. Woodward is an American academic and author of Islam in Java.

He conducted ethnographic research in the Yogyakarta Indonesia region in the New Order era.

Critical response[edit]

Islam in Java elicited a range of responses due to its diverging from Clifford Geertz's observations of almost 30 years before in East Java.^[1]
