Book Synopsis The Struggle for a Multilingual Future by : Christina P. Davis
Download or read book The Struggle for a Multilingual Future written by Christina P. Davis and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 2020-01-21 with total page 217 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In The Struggle for a Multilingual Future, Christina Davis examines the tension between ethnic conflict and multilingual education policy in the linguistic and social practices of Sri Lankan minority youth. Facing a legacy of post-independence language and education policies that were among the complex causes of the Sri Lankan civil war (1983 - 2009), the government has recently sought to promote interethnic integration through trilingual language policies in Sinhala, Tamil, and English in state schools. Integrating ethnographic and linguistic research in and around two schools during the last phase of the war, Davis's research shows how, despite the intention of the reforms, practices on the ground reinforce language-based models of ethnicity and sustain ethnic divisions and power inequalities. By engaging with the actual experiences of Tamil and Muslim youth, Davis demonstrates the difficulties of using language policy to ameliorate ethnic conflict if it does not also address how that conflict is produced and reproduced in everyday talk.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New York Times Book Review Editors’ Choice • A courageous young Sri Lankan woman tries to protect her dream of becoming a doctor in this “heartbreaking exploration of a family fractured by civil war” (Brit Bennett, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Vanishing Half). “This book, a careful, vivid exploration of what’s lost within a community when life and thought collapse toward binary conflict, rang softly for me as a novel for our own country in this odd time.”—Nathan Heller, The New Yorker AN NPR BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR Jaffna, 1981. Sixteen-year-old Sashi wants to become a doctor. But over the next decade, a vicious civil war tears through her home, and her dream spins off course as she sees her four beloved brothers and their friend K swept up in the mounting violence. Desperate to act, Sashi accepts K’s invitation to work as a medic at a field hospital for the militant Tamil Tigers, who, following years of state discrimination and violence, are fighting for a separate homeland for Sri Lanka’s Tamil minority. But after the Tigers murder one of her teachers and Indian peacekeepers arrive only to commit further atrocities, Sashi begins to question where she stands. When one of her medical school professors, a Tamil feminist and dissident, invites her to join a secret project documenting human rights violations, she embarks on a dangerous path that will change her forever. Set during the early years of Sri Lanka’s three-decade civil war, Brotherless Night is a heartrending portrait of one woman’s moral journey and a testament to both the enduring impact of war and the bonds of home.

It considers how these processes are reflected in rituals, beliefs and social practices. It explores the processes by which "home" may be constructed and how relocations often result in either the replication or rejection of traditional homes and identities. Ponniah examines the various contestations surrounding the categories of "home" and "religion," including interfaith families, urban spaces, and sacred places.

He comes from a brave family of Dutch-Delft patriots, intellectuals who fought historical wars with invaders from the north island regions. His love of cricket and middle distance running is marred by the death of his close relatives. His sporting dream shattered, and on the verge of losing his father from a war-related illness and his mother from an accident, Jana decides to leave the paradise island. His father's dream of seeing his grandchildren will never be fulfilled... Based on the true controversial political events in Sri Lanka in the late seventies, Two Elephants in the Matchbox tells the story of Tamil uprising. The conflicts Jana faced in his home and the streets, witnessing torture and deaths will haunt him forever, but he still keeps the dream for that podium spot in his life back in the UK... Sathajanan was born in Sri Lanka but now lives in London, where he works as a nurse. He is actively involved in ending the suffering of Tamils by peaceful means, to raise awareness of recent ethnic war crimes committed against them. He is also interested in promoting art and culture within the Diaspora communities in London. Two Elephants in the Matchbox is his first novel.
