Opis

This is a new book in our successful anthropology series. It examines the history of Sri Lanka and Tamil politics over the last 20+ years. It presents a unique account of the impact of a key Tamil political figure. It explores how he is drawn into militant political activity, and then grows to question it. It provides a fascinating exploration of what it means to be a revolutionary on both a personal and political level. This is the story of the life and impact of the political activist, journalist and freedom-fighter Sivaram Dharmeratnam. Sivaram dedicated his life to helping the Tamil people in Sri Lanka. He started out as an active participant in the war against the Sri Lankan government - in the eyes of some, a terrorist.
