The Unheard Stories of the Rohingyas
The 2017 persecution of the Rohingyas resulted in around a million Rohingyas fleeing to Bangladesh, India and Malaysia.
This book investigates the complex challenges of managing the large-scale refugee exodus in Bangladesh and how best to resolve these challenges in the future. Using a mixed-method approach that includes a survey, key informant interviews and numerous short case studies of persecution, the authors also examine the problematic influence of the media, as local depictions of Rohingya refugees often caused further tension and division in the midst of the refugee crisis. The book’s analysis offers a deeper understanding of the causes and drivers of identity-based politics among Myanmar’s Rohingya.
"The book objectively deals with the historical and deliberate process of discrimination and marginalisation of Rohingyas that paved the way for their dehumanisation, persecution and finally extermination." Migration and Development
“As I read the book, I realized the horrifying reality that the Rohingya have endured for centuries. Thank you for not only elucidating their plight but also for offering directions on how to remedy the crisis.” Mohammad Azizuddin, Coventry University
