This paper focuses on the place of internally displaced people within the Sri Lankan conflict, and specifically within the eastern district of Trincomalee.

Description

It explores the way that the spatial distribution of people has been used as an approach to governance: strengthening and controlling ethnic divisions as a tactic of war. The people in Trincomalee have been deeply affected by the violent conflict and great numbers have been forced to flee their homes and villages.

Emphasis on political relations too often obscures the question of people's place in, experience of and attitudes towards 'ethnic conflict'. Taking an actor-oriented approach and based on a period of field work in 2004 this paper looks at the complexity of people's perceptions of the 'other' and changes to these perceptions due to experiences of conflict-induced displacement.
