One of the most comprehensive volumes on Myanmar’s identity
politics to date, this book discusses the entanglement of ethnic
and religious identities in Myanmar and the challenges presented by
its extensive ethnic-religious diversity. Religious and ethnic
conjunctions are treated from historical, political, religious and
ethnic minority perspectives through both case studies and overview
chapters. The book addresses the thorny issue of Buddhist
supremacy, Burmese nationalism and ethnic-religious hierarchy,
along with reflections on Buddhist, Christian and Muslim
communities. Bringing together international scholars and Burmese
scholars, this book combines the perspectives of academic observers
with those of political activists and religious leaders from
different faiths. Through the breadth of its disciplinary approach,
its focus on identity issues and its inclusion of insider and
outsider perspectives, this book provides new insights into the
complex religious situation of Myanmar.
