Myanmar's 'Rohingya' Conflict Paperback / softback
by Anthony Ware, Costas Laoutides
Paperback / softback
- Information
Description
The plight of Myanmar's Rohingya Muslims has made global headlines in recent years.
Hundreds of thousands of Rohingya have fled Myanmar for Bangladesh, amidst serious allegations of genocide, ethnic cleansing and crimes against humanity.
The impact on Myanmar’s international standing has been massive.
However, much of the commentary so far has been reductionist, flattening complex dynamics into a simple narrative of state oppression of a religious minority.
Exploring this long-running tripartite conflict between the Rohingya, Rakhine and the Burman-led state, this book offers a new analysis of the complexities of the current crisis: the fears and motivations driving it and the competition to control historical representations and collective memory.
The authors question these competing narratives, and examine the international dimensions of this intractable conflict, ultimately arguing that the central issue is a contestation over political inclusion and control over governance.
