Yet, even as the international community was celebrating a new dawn, old wars were raging in the northern borderlands and a crisis was emerging in western Arakan State, as the regime intensified its oppression of the vulnerable Muslim Rohingya community. The trigger of the latter was a series of episodes of intercommunal violence between Muslims and Buddhists in 2012, in which the army and police took sides attacking the former. By 2017, the conflict had escalated into a military onslaught against the Rohingya that provoked the most desperate refugee crisis of our times, as over 750,000 of them fled their homes to neighbouring Bangladesh. In The Burmese Labyrinth, journalist Carlos Sardina Galache, gives the in depth story of the country, combining reportage and history. Burma has always been an uneasy balance between multiple ethnic groups and religions. He examines the deep roots behind the ethnic divisions that go back prior to the colonial period, and so shockingly exploded in recent times. This is a powerful portrait of a nation in perpetual conflict with itself."-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Rohingya (Burmese people) $x Violence against. 651 0 $a Burma $x Ethnic relations. 650 0 $a Minorities $z Burma. 650 0 $a Muslims $z Burma $x Social conditions $y 21st century. 650 0 $a Nationalism $z Burma. 651 0 $a Burma $x Politics and government $y 21st century. 651 0 $a Burma $x History. 650 7 $a Ethnic relations. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00916005 650 7 $a Minorities. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01023088 650 7 $a Muslims $x Social conditions. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01031070 650 7 $a Nationalism. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01033832 650 7 $a Politics and government. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919741 651 7 $a Burma. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01207835 648 7 $a 2000-2099 $2 fast 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 776 08 $i Online version: $a Galache, Carlos Sardina, $t The Burmese labyrinth $d New York : Verso, 2020. $z 9781788733236 $w (DLC) 2019044439 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117013047.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=820F23628FC011ECBA4AA6A62FECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
