Everyday Ethnicity in Sri Lanka Up-country Tamil Identity Politics

Everyday Ethnicity in Sri Lanka Up-country Tamil Identity Politics

Focusing on notions of diaspora identity and agency this book examines ethnicity in war-torn Sri Lanka. It highlights the historical development and negotiation of a new identification of Up-country Tamil amidst Sri Lanka’s violent ethnic politics. Over the past thirty years Up-country (Indian) Tamils generally have tried to secure their vision of living within a multi-ethnic Sri Lanka not within Tamil Eelam the separatist dream that ended with the civil war in 2009. Exploring Sri Lanka within the deep history of colonial-era South Asian plantation diasporas the book argues Up-country Tamils form a diaspora next-door to their ancestral homeland. It moves beyond simplistic Sinhala-Tamil binaries and shows how Sri Lanka’s ethnic troubles actually have more in common with similar battles that diasporic Indians have faced in Fiji and Trinidad than with Hindu-Muslim communalism in neighbouring India Pakistan and Bangladesh. Shedding new light on issues of agency citizenship displacement and re-placement within the formation of diasporic communities and identities this book demonstrates the ways that culture workers including politicians trade union leaders academics and NGO workers have facilitated the development of a new identity as Up-country Tamil. It is of interest to academics working in the fields of modern South Asia diaspora violence post-conflict nations religion and ethnicity. | Everyday Ethnicity in Sri Lanka Up-country Tamil Identity Politics

Loose Fit City The Contribution of Bottom-Up Architecture to Urban Design and Planning

Loose Fit City The Contribution of Bottom-Up Architecture to Urban Design and Planning

Drawn from a lifetime’s experience of shared city-making from the bottom up within rapidly expanding urban metabolisms in Delhi Mumbai Agra Kathmandu West Africa and London Loose Fit City is about the ways in which city residents can learn through making to engage with the dynamic process of creating their own city. It looks at the nature and processes involved in loosely fitting together elements made by different people at different scales and times with different intentions into a civic entity which is greater than the sum of its parts. It shows how bottom-up learning through making can create a more vibrant and democratic city than the more flattened top-down centrally planned factory made version. Loose Fit City provides a new take on the subject of architecture defined as the study and practice of fitting together physical and cultural topography. It provides a comprehensive view of how the fourth dimension of time fits loosely together with the three spatial dimensions at different scales within the human horizon so as to layer meaning and depth within the places and metabolism of the city fabric. | Loose Fit City The Contribution of Bottom-Up Architecture to Urban Design and Planning

The Musical Human Rethinking John Blacking's Ethnomusicology in the Twenty-First Century

The Musical Human Rethinking John Blacking's Ethnomusicology in the Twenty-First Century

The musical human: without a doubt this vision of the human species as naturally musical has become the most enduring legacy John Blacking bequeathed to ethnomusicology. The image aptly embodies his preoccupations which integrated theoretical and methodological issues within the discipline with a deep concern for the physical and psychological well-being of humanity. Blacking believed sincerely in the power of music and he contended that people's general health depended upon the musical opportunities made available to them. For this reason he placed great importance upon ethnomusicology the discipline that investigates the way different societies around the world organize their musical activities and the impact of these diverse alternatives upon the people involved in them. Each essay draws upon distinct aspects of Blacking's writings but complements them with quite different sets of sources. Themes include the role of fieldwork in the postmodern era; the role of music amongst subaltern communities existing in a rapidly changing social environment with particular reference to Vendaland; the manipulation of traditional performance settings in pursuit of political or social strategies; children's music acquisition as an indicator of the innate musical capacity of humans; the biology of music making; the creation of pleasure pain and power during dance; cognitive processes and the social consequences of the power of music and a consideration of the method of applying ethnomusicological research methods to Western art music. In this way the volume provides fresh assessments of Blacking's work taking up his challenge to push the boundaries of ethnomusicology into new territories. | The Musical Human Rethinking John Blacking's Ethnomusicology in the Twenty-First Century

Ghana Under Military Rule 1966-1969

Ghana Under Military Rule 1966-1969

Originally published in 1972 this book examines the way in which the military/police regime in Ghana which overthrew President Nkrumah in February 1966 performed two overlapping tasks – those of establishing itself as a recognised government and of pursuing its chosen objective of eventually restoring democratic civilian rule. The author who conducted interviews with people at many levels in Ghanaian politics including the majority of members of General Ankrah’s Cabinet traces the progress of the military regime showing that it was successful in building up public support and opening up new political avenues but that it was unable to make any fundamental economic changes. He argues that to understand the operation of the military government it is necessary to look at its relationship with most influential sections of the civilian population and clearly demonstrates that without the co-operation of such civilians the new regime could never have achieved as much as it did. | Ghana Under Military Rule 1966-1969
