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

5.0

This book was painful, but SO important to read!!! I picked it up for one of my classes, and I never imagined that I would've found myself to feel so connected to Habib. Choosing to tell his story in first-person was such a phenomenal move, especially for a group that has continuously been dehumanized. As much as this book was difficult to read because it is quite literally a detailed account of the ongoing genocide of the Rohingya, this should be required reading.
