This book looks at conflict zones in the Asia Pacific with a
special focus on secessionist groups/movements in the Indian
Northeast, Tibet, Chinese Xinjiang, the Burmese borderlands,
Kashmir in South Asia, CHT in Bangladesh, South Thailand, and Aceh
in Indonesia. These conflict zones are predominantly ethnic
minority provinces, which by and large do not share a sense of
one-ness with the country that they are currently a part of; most
of these insurgencies have had strong linkages with separatist
nationalist groups in the region. Methodologically, the author uses
extensive fieldwork, interview data, and participant observation
from these conflict zones to take a bottom-up approach, giving
importance to the voices of ordinary people and/or the residents of
these conflict zones whose voices have generally been ignored.
Although the book looks at both the historical background and
contemporary dimensions of these conflicts, the author focuses on
exploring how the role of race, ethnicity and religion in these
conflicts can be both direct and indirect. This book will be of
great interest to students and scholars of conflict and security in
contemporary Asia with a background in politics, history, IR,
security studies, religion, and sociology.
