The Rohingya are among the world's most persecuted people. Rendered stateless by Myanmar's 1982 Citizenship Act, they face systematic violence, discrimination, and displacement that have forced hundreds of thousands into exile across South and Southeast Asia.This revised edition provides an expanded examination of Rohingya experiences in Bangladesh and India, analyzing conditions in overcrowded refugee camps, the perilous journeys undertaken in search of safety, and the profound human rights implications of statelessness. It critically assesses international responses to the crisis and confronts the challenges of repatriation without guarantees of citizenship or security.An essential resource for scholars, students, and practitioners in Refugee Studies, Human Rights, South Asian Studies, and Political Science, this volume also speaks directly to policymakers, activists, and anyone seeking to understand one of the twenty-first century's most urgent humanitarian crises.

The Rohingya of Myanmar are one of the world’s most persecuted minority populations without citizenship. After the latest exodus from Myanmar in 2017, there are now more than half a million Rohingya in Bangladesh living in camps, often in conditions of abject poverty, malnutrition and without proper access to shelter or work permits. Some of them are now compelled to take to the seas in perilous journeys to the Southeast Asian countries in search of a better life. They are now asked to go back to Myanmar, but without any promise of citizenship or an end to discrimination.This book looks at the Rohingya in the South Asian region, primarily India and Bangladesh. It explores the broader picture of the historical and political dimensions of the Rohingya crisis, and examines subjects of statelessness, human rights and humanitarian protection of these victims of forced migration. Further, it chronicles the actual process of emergence of a stateless community – the transformation of a national group into a stateless existence without basic rights.

Explores various unusual sites of statelessness like sea, cities, and laws, beyond mere legal and regulatory frameworks, that determines statelessness.Statelessness is incessantly produced in seas, cities, and law. Building around the postcolonial experiences of statelessness Sites of Statelessness examines the entanglements of citizenship policies and practices with the spread of statelessness in contemporary times, something that defies any kind of a citizen/stateless binary. These policies are significant, the background of a shift in emphasis from jus soli to jus sanguinis, the proliferation of borderland populations and nowhere people, population flows across (post)colonial border formations and boundary delimitations, and the growth of regional, formal, and informal labor markets characterized by immigrant labor economies. In this context, contributors address the distinctive dynamics of the different sites in the production of statelessness and considers the impact of these sites as critical and does not merely treat them as a backdrop. They argue that these different sites evoke different histories and repertoires and also bring different possibilities of alignment with emerging problematics.
