First, They Erased Our Name: a Rohingya Speaks by Habiburahman, Sophie Ansel

4.0

This book talks about the Rohingya people through the eyes of a man who is from the minority Burmese natives that are highly oppressed people. He tells his story about his struggles growing up and the lack of opportunities given to him as in his country he is considered "black" and not important or worthy of much. He endured slavery in Thailand as well as other situations. It is nice to finally read a book by a Rohingya. It was really well written, though definitely not completely a happy ending since so many of these people are being killed and enslaved in Myanmar, Thailand, and other countries.
