Review # 1 was written on 2013-06-15 00:00:00 Frank Muto This is a must read for anyone genuinely interested in the ROOT causes of the Ethnic Conflict in Sri Lanka. To quote one journal Review: "DeVotta has submitted an elaborate, interesting, theory-led study of the Sri Lankan conflict. Focusing on the language politics, he allude to a highly sensitive topic in the history of Tamil-Sinhalese ethnic relations. In addition, the extensive quotations enable the reader to comprehend the political view of the Sinhala and Tamil elites at that time."'Internationales Asienforum If you are interested in what *really* happened in Northern Sri lanka, without the propaganda, the following is recommended: Does anyone know of any independent video documentaries that describes the Ethnic conflict in Sri Lanka? I was also looking for any unbiased Web resources? hope this review helps!

Review # 2 was written on 2017-11-09 00:00:00 Teresa Gerstacker 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.
