| Summary: | Introduction: IDs for Rohingya : 'Pathways to Citizenship' or 'Instruments of Genocide'? -- Papers, Cards, and Perilous Encounters with the State : Identity documents, oral histories and state crime research -- By-passing State Power and Neutralising State Bureaucracies in International Approaches to Statelessness -- State Power and Identification Schemes in Rakhine : From the British colonial period to Burma's independence -- IDs as Evidence of State Crime and Artefacts from the Early Decades of Independence -- Genocide and Identity Destruction in Rohingya ID Narratives -- 'Genocide Cards' : IDs, Registration, and the Phases of Rohingya Genocide -- IDs and International Approaches to Rohingya Statelessness : Towards social inclusion or identity destruction? -- Conclusion : Seeing the State and Criminality in Statelessness. This book draws on Rohingya oral histories and narratives about Myanmar’s genocide and ID schemes to critique prevailing international approaches to legal identities and statelessness. By centring the narratives of survivors of state crimes, collected in the aftermath of the 2017 genocidal violence, this book examines the multiple uses of state-issued ID cards and registration documents in producing statelessness and facilitating genocide. In doing so, it challenges some of the international solutions put forward to resolve statelessness. Rohingya narratives disrupt a simple linear understanding of documenting legal identity that marginalises experiences of these processes. The richly layered accounts of the effects of citizenship laws and registration processes on the lives of Rohingya problematise the ways in which international actors have endorsed state ID schemes and by-passed state-led persecution of the group. This book will be valuable for scholars studying global criminology, state crime, development studies, refugee and migration studies, statelessness and nationality, citizenship studies, and genocide studies. |
