About the book
The Moros set beside the Malays of Patani and the Rohingya of Arakan: three Muslim minorities on the edges of Buddhist and Christian states, and the roads each took.
Moshe Yegar, a research fellow at the Truman Institute of the Hebrew University, compares 3 Muslim minorities that rose against the states they lived in: the Moros of the southern Philippines, the Patani Malays of southern Thailand and the Rohingya of Arakan in Burma/Myanmar. The book runs to over 460 pages, with maps.
Yegar traces how the Islamic revival after the Second World War and the nationalist movements of Southeast Asia pushed each group towards separatism. He asks whether each wanted communal separation, autonomy or full independence, and what means it had to pursue those goals. The book has a part on each community. The Arakan part covers the Muslims of that region, the Patani part covers the annexation of Patani and the figure of Hajji Sulong, and the Moro part covers the MNLF and the dispute over the Tripoli Agreement. A final chapter looks at autonomy.
