  • Taylor & Francis Ltd (Sales) Sovereignty Space and Civil War in Sri Lanka

    15 in stock

    Book SynopsisAnalyses of the Sri Lankan civil war (19832009) overwhelmingly represent it as an ethnonationalist contest, prolonging postcolonial arguments on the creation and dissolution of the incipient nation-state since independence in 1948. While colonial divide-and-rule policies, the rise of ethnonationalist lobbies, structural discrimination and majoritarian democracy have been established as grounds for inter-ethnic hostility, there are other significant transformative forces that remain largely unacknowledged in postcolonial analyses.This ambitious multiscalar spatial study of civil war in Sri Lanka offers an intersectional, de-ethnicised analysis of political sovereignty drawn out by the struggle for territory. Based on vital retrospective findings from the five-year postwar period, when wartime hostilities were still festering, it convincingly links ethnonationalism to postnational border politics, marketisation, militarised securitisation and illiberal democracy.

  • Taylor & Francis Ltd The Power of NeoSlave Fiction and Public History

    15 in stock

    Book SynopsisProfessional historians, schools, colleges and universities are not alone in shaping higher-order understanding of history. The central thesis of this book is the belief historical fiction in text and film shape attitudes towards an understanding of history as it moves the focus from slavery to the enslavedfrom the institution to the personal, families and feminist accounts.In a broader sense, this contributes to a public history. In part, using the quickly growing corpus of neo-slave counterfactual narratives, this book examines the notion of the emerging slavery public history, and the extent to which this is defined by literature, film and other forms of artistic expression, rather than non-fictionpopular or scholarlyand education in history in the school systems. Inter alia, this book looks to the validity of historical fiction in print or in film as a way of understanding history. A focal point of this book is the hypothesis that neo-slave narrativessupported by selectivTrade Review"The human stories authentically leap from the pages eloquently in Grant Rodwell’s latest book. Painstakingly researched and brilliantly told… simply splendid!An account throughout that is sensitive, colourful and compelling. Composed yet again with rare skill by the remarkable man from Oberon.
