Book excerpt: Militarizing Sri Lanka, written against the background of the armed conflict between the Sri Lankan state and the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE), focuses on the process of militarization of the country between the late 1980s and 2005.Taking a cultural studies approach, the study: draws on cultural, feminist, communication, psychosocial, anthropological, film, theatre and political economy studies; highlights how the ideology of militarism is shaped and shared in a manner that makes militant solutions to conflict a part of institutional structures and ways of thought; shows how militarization works through the popular media, advertising, theatre, film, literature and memorialization; uses case studies of military advertising, disabled soldiers, children in the conflict zones, the LTTE female suicide bomber, censorship and archiving; and, illustrates how militarization represents war and martial virtue as valour, heroism and masculine pride, and categorizes their opposites as cowardice, treason and feminization.

Book excerpt: This book explores the change of Sri Lanka's military's mission from protecting the country from external threats to countering insurgencies. From 1947 to 2004, Sri Lanka's military has searched for a mission. When its initial worry of an invasion by India did not materialize, the military turned its focus on internal insurrections. With an expected end to the 20-year conflict between the Jaffna Tamils and the Sinhalese government, the military's mission will return to external defense. However, without significant external or internal threats, the government will neglect the military and it will again become incapable of defending against any threat.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The complex and long-drawn war between the Sri Lankan government and the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) ended with the defeat of the Tigers in 2009. This book provides a military history of the conflict in tracing its evolution from a battle between a ragtag guerrilla force and a mainly ceremonial army to one between an organized guerrilla force with semi-conventional capability and a state military apparatus that had morphed into a large and potent force with modern armour, aircraft and naval vessels. Using a wide range of sources this book offers an incisive analysis of the progress and conclusion of one of the longest and most destructive wars in modern South Asia. Comprehensive and accessible, the volume will be of great interest to scholars and researchers of modern South Asia, especially Sri Lanka, military history, politics, defence and strategic studies, as well as the general reader.

Book excerpt: The Kingdom Of Kandy In The Central Highlands Of Sri Lanka Presents One Of The Finest Examples Of Effective Military Resistance To European Expansion By A Small, Economically Backward State In The South Asian Region, And Perhaps, In The World. Kandy, A Landlocked State With A Subsistence Economy, Few Material Resources And A Sparse Population By Regional Standards, Has The Unique Distinction Of Resisting European Expansion For Over Two Centuries. Between 1594 And 1818 Kandy Battled Against The Armies Of Three European Powers Established In The Coast: The Portuguese, The Dutch And The British And Preserved Its Independence Until The Kingdom Was Betrayed By Disgruntled Nobles In 1815. From The Perspective Of Small State Resistance To European Arms This Was Serious And Significant Resistance, Perhaps The Most Significant Of Its Kind In The Region. Yet It Has So Far Received Little Attention From Scholars Working On Asian Military History Or On Sri Lankan History. This Study Is The First Serious Attempt To Fill This Void.
