Description

This book is a powerful chronicle of Sri Lanka’s violent and complex history-an unflinching exploration of two centuries marked by oppression, rebellion, and survival. From the fall of the Kandyan Kingdom in 1815 and the imposition of British colonial rule to the bloody insurrections and civil wars of the 20th and 21st centuries, the island has endured relentless cycles of violence and silence. Across generations, voices have been erased, and wounds left unhealed.Author and compiler Tuan B. Kamiss examines these turbulent eras with compassion and moral clarity, tracing how colonial domination planted the seeds of ethnic division, political unrest, and systemic brutality. Through meticulously researched accounts and personal reflection, he confronts the legacies of state-sponsored violence, forced disappearances, and forgotten massacres that have shaped Sri Lanka’s national identity.This book goes beyond documenting events-it seeks to understand why violence persists, how power manipulates memory, and what it means to bear witness in a land where justice is too often denied. Each chapter illuminates a distinct moment in Sri Lanka’s past, revealing the social, psychological, and political forces that perpetuated conflict and impunity.At once historical and deeply personal, this work serves as both a memorial and a reckoning. It honors the disappeared and the silenced, challenges official narratives, and invites readers to confront the uncomfortable truths buried within the nation’s conscience.
