Rohingya Stories

This book confronts, and redresses, the remarkable lack of understanding and knowledge about Myanmar, particularly in the West, regarding the backdrop to the Rohingya crisis and genocide. It provides an ethnohistorical overview, discussing the cross-border dynamics, the genocide, and UN/international responses. It focuses on the refugee camps, regional security, and Rohingya repatriation issues. The book presents a broad and well-rounded view of the ongoing crisis, highlighting perspectives both from "within" and "outside" it. This unique book collates chapters by a global, diverse team of interdisciplinary scholars and experts, bringing together an integrated and holistic analysis toward a better understanding of the roots of the ongoing crisis, and the survival and protection of the Rohingya refugees. It will be useful to students, scholars, and policymakers seeking to understand the complexity of the crisis, working in areas such as history, conflict/refugee studies, international affairs and regional studies, political science, sociology, and anthropology.
