The End of War in Sri Lanka:

Reflections and challenges

edited by Groundviews.org, 2010 

To mark the one-year anniversary of the horrific end to the three-decade long ethnic conflict in Sri Lanka, the feisty, thought-provoking website groundviews.org opened their platform to writers and thinkers to reflect on the occasion. Over the course of a week in May 2010, some 80,000 words were published by nearly 40 authors, including academics, activists, politicians and a few anonymous concerned citizens. The organisers have now come out with a high-quality, Ford Foundation-funded, printed archive of this laudable flush of emotion and analysis.
