On the Margin: Refugees, Migrants and MinoritiesChowdhury Rafiqul Abrar The birth of Bangladesh as an independent state was marked by the uprooting of millions of people. This volume of essays contributed by academics, lawyers, non-governmental and human rights activists, identifies the extent of displacement of peripheral communities, locates the sources of their marginalization and initiates a discussion to redress their plight. The volume is divided into four parts. The first two deal with refugees and migrant workers, the third part deals with the problems of minorities and the last part addresses concerns on trafficking in women and children because of their social and economic vulnerability. |
