Blowback: Linguistic Nationalism, Institutional Decay, and Ethnic Conflict in Sri Lanka Book Description

"DeVotta's detailed historical approach makes the book a fine case study for social scientists in general and for anyone with a serious interest in ethnic conflict in South Asia."--Journal of Asian Studies"
"The resounding strength of DeVotta's book is that it provides a truly nuanced understanding of the productive ideological linking of language to collective notions of peoplehood within the postcolonial state. His book richly illustrates the ways that language ideologies are created, linked to competing versions of national identity, and intimately embedded in institutionalized positions of power."--Journal of Anthropological Research"
