This chapter uses the tool of social memory to get a sense of the refugees’ collective identity. It presents the dimension of social memory that includes numerous kinds of social, political, economic, and religious persecutions that have occurred, in the form of abuses related to denial of citizenship rights, and interference in everyday life in their land of origin, forcing them to migrate to another country. The chapter then focuses on individuals’ lived experiences in the host country, Bangladesh, where they have had to endure much of the same kinds of abuses as in their home country, again because of their similar stateless status. An exploration of their social memory sheds light on two important issues: firstly, the precipitating causes and expulsive reasons for the forced migration of the refugees; and secondly, how refugees reconstruct their memories in exile.
