In 2009, after decades of conflict, the Sri Lankan government
proclaimed the decisive defeat of the Liberation Tamil Tigers of
Elam. Subsequently, the state proved resistant to attempts by the
UN and other international bodies to promote post-war
reconciliation or reform. In this incisive new work, Judith Large
investigates the ways in which the Rajapaksa government was able to
subvert international diplomatic efforts, as well as exploring the
wider context of rising Sinhalese nationalism, the attendant growth
of discrimination against minorities, and efforts by both the
diaspora and citizens within Sri Lanka to work towards a positive
peace. Push Back is vital reading not only for those interested in
Sri Lanka, but also for those concerned about the wider
implications of the conflict for human rights, peace-making, and
geopolitics.
