Between Integration and Secession

Explore the intricate dynamics of Muslim minorities in non-Muslim states with Between Integration and Secession by Moshe Yegar. Published by Bloomsbury Publishing Plc in 2002, this compelling hardback edition spans 482 pages, delving into the complexities of cultural anthropology and political science.

Yegar investigates the challenges faced by Muslim communities in three distinct regions: the Philippines, Thailand, and Burma (Myanmar). Through a detailed examination of rebellion and resistance, he uncovers the struggles these minorities face as they seek to define their goals and secure the means to achieve them. This insightful work not only addresses issues of political freedom and civil rights but also contributes to the broader discourse on Islamic studies and comparative religion in the context of postwar Asia.

Ideal for scholars and anyone interested in the intersections of culture, politics, and religion, Between Integration and Secession offers a profound understanding of the quest for coexistence in a diverse world.
