ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

Myanmar’s Enemy Within: Buddhist Violence and the Making of a Muslim ’Other’ by Francis Wade delves into the complex origins and evolution of anti-Muslim sentiment and violence in Myanmar. The book traces how, over time, a narrative has been constructed that portrays the Muslim population as foreign threats to the nation's Buddhist identity. It explores the historical backdrop, including the legacy of British colonialism and the efforts to forge a unified national identity. The author examines the influence of ultranationalist Buddhist groups and the role of propaganda in shaping public perception and fueling social divisions. Through various accounts and analysis, the book unveils the mechanisms behind the making of this Muslim 'Other' and the ensuing consequences for the targeted communities.
