本文批判性地检视了缅甸社会中长期存在的罗兴亚人问题,认为这场危机的根源在于英国殖民时代;在缅甸独立之后,由于罗兴亚人作为少数民族逐渐被边缘化,被排斥在政治体制之外,并最终被剥夺公民身份,实际上成为无国籍者,因此罗兴亚人问题有愈演愈烈之势。本文从缅甸的民族构建角度切入,运用历史学的方法梳理了罗兴亚人问题的产生、发展历程。根据这些形成和加剧危机的历史因素,重新梳理罗兴亚人问题形成的历史根源和现代表达。
This paper discusses the long-standing Rohingya problem in Burmese society and argues that the crisis has its roots in the British colonial era. After Burma’s independence,the Rohingya problem has been exacerbated by the gradual marginalization of the Rohingya as an ethnic minority,their exclusion from the political system,and their eventual denial of citizenship,effectively rendering them stateless. This paper takes a historiographical approach to the emergence,development,and evolution of the Rohingya problem from the perspective of Myanmar’s ethnic construction. In light of these historical factors that have shaped and exacerbated the crisis,the historical roots and modern expressions of the Rohingya problem are re-examined.
