درباره این کتاب:
This multi-sited island
ethnography illustrates how the embattled
politics of (im)mobility, belonging, and
patronage among coastal fishing
communities in Sri Lanka´s militarised
northeast have intersected in the wake of
civil war. It explores an undertheorized
puzzle by asking how the conceptual
dualisms between co-operation and
contestation simplify the complex
lifeworlds of small-scale fishing
communities that are often imagined by
scholars through allegories of rivalry and
resource competition.
Drawing on ordinary interpretations and
lived practices implicated in the
vernacular term sambandam (bearing
multiple meanings of intimacy and
entanglement), the book traces how
intergroup co-operation is both
affectively routinised and tactically
instrumentalised across coastlines, and at
sea. Given its distinct focus on
translocal and ethno-religiously plural
collectives, the study maps recent
historic formations of diverse practices
and their contentions, from networked
‘piracy’ and dynamite fishing, to
collective rescue missions and coalitional
lobbying.
Moreover this work serves as an open
invitation to academics, policymakers and
activists for re-imagining multiple modes
of ethical being and doing, and of
everyday sociality among so-called ‘deeply
divided’ societies.
A rich ethnography that pays meticulous
attention to a complex social fabric made
up of locals, settlers and migrants, with
multiple linguistic and religious
affiliations, sometimes contending fishing
practices, and migration and livelihoods
patterns as they have been affected by
tsunami, war and the aftermaths of both.
It draws from and speaks to a range of
disciplines – from political science and
sociology, to critical geography and
cultural studies, and contributes to
diverse fields of inquiry, including
conflict and its relationship to a “cold”
peace; coastal/maritime livelihoods;
identity, cooperation, and collective
action.

By unveiling the vast heterogeneity of
fisher migrants and settlers, the book
demonstrates in an excellent way how
research should not merely focus on the
articulations of identity, but more so the
inherent properties and qualities of the
diverse interdependencies they come to
sustain.
