Sri Lankan Tamil Nationalism
註釋Wilson (political science, U. of New Brunswick, Canada) analyzes the rise of Tamil nationalism in Sri Lanka, examining the social and caste structure of the Tamils and their linguistic, cultural, and literary heritage. He traces the evolution of Tamil political activity and ethnic consciousness, and details the militarization of Tamil youth, struggles among Tamil groups, Indian intervention, and phases leading to the present impasse.
