This book is a sensitive, thoughtful, yet provocative addition to the growing body of ethnographic work on violence, memory, and intimacy, and to studies of contemporary Sri Lanka. - Journal of Contemporary Asia Hughes writes with a strong,sensitive, and sympathetic authorial voice. She provides a nuanced understanding of positionality and a thoughtful discussion of research ethics and methods. Life after Terror will appeal to anthropologists, South Asianists, and Sri Lankanists. In a classroom, one could use the book to discuss state violence, particularly the microprocesses and lived experience of insurgency and counter-insurgency situations.
