reviewed Blowback: Linguistic Nationalism, Institutional Decay, and Ethnic Conflict in Sri Lanka on September 15, 2008
Blowback
Useful as an intro in the SL conflict. begins just after the country's independence from the British and ends in 2003, with Kumaratunga still reigning as president. concludes with some general recommendations on how the govt might begin actually working on peace.
should definitely be followed with more readings to fill out some of the vaguer points and to counter some of the more arguable ones.
