This book explores the multifaceted obstacles to social change that
India, Myanmar and Thailand face, and ways to overcome them. With a
collection of essays that identify common challenges and salient
features affecting diverse communities, this volume examines topics
from subnational and local perspectives across the peripheries. The
book argues that identity-based divisions have created a system of
oppression and political contention that have led to conflicts of
different kinds, and hence serving as the common cause of different
social issues. At the same time, such issues have created space for
marginalized groups around the world to call for change. The volume
recognizes that social transformation comes into being through an
active process of deconstructing and reconstructing shared norms
and ideas. The contents in this book are thus centered around two
focuses: the impacts of identities and grassroots. Both of these
aspects are at the heart of each country's transformations towards
democracy, peace, justice, and freedom. Under this framework, the
chapters cover a diverse range of common issues, such as, minority
grievances, gender inequality, ethnic identity, grassroots power in
alliance-making towards community peace, recovery and resilience,
digital freedom, democracy assistance and communication, and
bridging multiple divides. As identity-based cleavages are daily
lived experiences for individuals and communities, it requires
grassroots initiatives and alliances as well as democratic
communication to tackle obstacles at the root. Ultimately, the book
convinces readers that social transformations must begin at the
individual to communal level and local to national level.
