Title Ethnoreligious Otherings and Passionate Conflicts Degree of recognition International Media name/outlet New Books Network Media type Web Country/Territory United States Date 15/06/23 Description Ethnoreligious Otherings and Passionate Conflicts (Oxford UP, 2022) lays bare the causal mechanisms that lead state and non-state actors to identify particular ethnoreligious groups as threats to security, power, and status. It focuses on the cases of Indonesia, Myanmar, and the Philippines to demonstrate how ethnoreligious others are transformed from strangers to enemies through passions, nationalism, and securitization. Advancing a novel ethnoreligious othering framework, the book offers a distinctive approach to understanding protracted conflict beyond dominant paradigms in international relations and conflict studies.
In this interview, author Michael Magcamit shares the book’s back story, his ethical principles when doing field research in emotionally-charged and securitised sites, and the policy implications of his research.URL https://newbooksnetwork.com/ethnoreligious-otherings-and-passionate-conflicts Persons Michael Magcamit
