Igrając z ogniem. Antymuzułmańska mobilizacja społeczna w Birmie
Journal Title: Studia Socjologiczno-Polityczne. Seria Nowa - Year 2015, Vol 4, Issue 2
Abstract
This article discusses anti-Muslim social mobilization against the people calling themselves the Rohingya in Burma. Resentment against this minority unites all political actors in Burma: the society, the army, and even the currently ruling former pro-democracy opposition. Although persecution of the Rohingya from the perspective of Burma concerns marginal groups in the deep province, due to the media attention it has become the most well-known domestic problem of that country, however wrongly compared to the threat of genocide. Persecution of the Rohingya is, in fact, an example of social mobilization driven top-down in order to stay in power and maintain privileges of the former military regime, not the evidence of the threat of genocide.
