Book description
A vivid portrayal of the Rohingya in exile, from an award-winning reporter.Shortlisted for the 2024 Bread and Roses Award for Radical PublishingLonglisted for the 2023 Moore Prize for Human Rights WritingRohingya men, women and children have been fleeing their homes for forty years. The tipping point came in August 2017, when almost 700,000 were wrung from Myanmar in a single military operation. Today, very few members of this Muslim minority remain in the country. Instead, they live mostly in Bangladesh's refugee camps; or precariously in Malaysia, India, Thailand, Saudi Arabia and elsewhere.With the Rohingya almost entirely in exile, I Feel No Peace is the first book-length exploration of their lives abroad, drawing on hundreds of hours of interviews and long-standing relationships within the diaspora. Kaamil Ahmed speaks to the families of snatched children, and people kidnapped to feed the human trafficking nourished by Rohingya suffering. Most disturbingly, he reveals the complicity of NGOs and the UN in the refugees' plight.But Ahmed also uncovers resilience and hope; stories of how a scattered community survives. The lives uncovered in I Feel No Peace are complex, heart-breaking and unforgettable.'Sheds light on issues that are mired in miscommunication and disinformation. We sincerely hope [I Feel No Peace] will be read widely and used to provide further nuance to the issues of migration, foreign relations, and international justice and human rights.'- Special Mention from the Bread & Roses Award Committee'As Mr. Ahmed observes with heart-rending eloquence, the Rohingya have been, since 1982, a species of non-people in Myanmar . . . To read Mr. Ahmed's invaluable book is to become overwhelmed with dread for the Rohingya.' - The Wall Street Journal'[I Feel No Peace] is effective at placing the recent exodus of Rohingya in its historical position: as something that had happened multiple times before, and will likely happen again. [...] [It is an] antidote for those who had any doubt of the inequality, desperation and injustice that characterises how the world treats refugees: silencing their voices and thereby making it easier to degrade them, and even ignore mounting death tolls.' - Sally Hayden, The Irish Times'In prose that brims with empathy and humanity, Ahmed zooms in on individual lives to explain the breadth of this people's struggles.' - Prospect'An in-depth exploration of the Rohingya in exile, their exploitation, quests for justice, and the apparent failures of world bodies such as the United Nations to protect them.' - Al Jazeera
