| Assembling Ethnicities in Neoliberal Times Subjects: Ethnic relations in literature.; Ethnicity in literature.; Civil war in literature.; Sri Lankan literature; Sri Lankan literature (English); Assembling Ethnicities in Neoliberal Times: Ethnographic Fictions and Sri Lanka's War argues that the bloody war fought between the Sri Lankan state and the separatist Tamil Tigers from 1983 to 2009 should be understood as structured and animated by the forces of global capitalism. Using Aihwa Ong's theorization of neoliberalism as a mobile technology and assemblage, this book explores how contemporary globalization has exacerbated forces of nationalism and racism.
