This essay critically examines the arguments advanced in support of Tamil separatist claims for the Northern and Eastern Provinces of Sri Lanka and part of the North-Western Province, a region that the Tamils refer to as their "traditional homelands". The author is a historian and Executive Director of the International Centre for Ethnic Studies in Sri Lanka. The evolution of the concept of Tamil traditional homelands is traced and the validity of the historical references the separatists use to legitimise their claims are evaluated. The author sees these claims as a contemporary example of the development of a political myth, where myth is taken to mean a tale told to justify some aspect of social order, based on a particular interpretation of facts already present in the culture. The final part of the essay looks at the debate about the homelands during the years 1985-1994, a period which closes with Sinhalese political opinion insisting that the current amalgamation of the Northern and Eastern Provinces be undone. Comparisons are made with other separatist claims in Asia, such as those of the Moros in the Philippines.

S.J. Chelvanayakam was one of the most prominent leaders of the Ceylon Tamils before and after the end of colonial rule, and in the early days of their struggle for political and economic equality. The author, who knew Chelvanayakam intimately, analyzes in this work his career and his symbiotic relationship with the Ceylon Tamils, which led eventually to the emergence and reinforcing of a defensive Ceylon Tamil nationalism.

More than ever, diasporas have a direct impact on the politics of their homelands. Today's diasporic activists-empowered by new media and the ease of travel afforded by globalization-engage directly to shape elections and conflicts in distant settings: politics from afar. Drawing on a global range of cases, this groundbreaking volume explores the impact of transnational diaspora politics on development, democratization, conflict, and the changing nature of citizenship. The contributors to this collection, representing a variety of disciplinary perspectives and area studies expertise, reveal the diasporic politics shaping the governance of development in Mexico, conflict in Sri Lanka, and elections in Ethiopia among other timely cases. While some predicted that globalization would usher in a new era of cosmopolitanism, Politics from Afar demonstrates that ethno-nationalism and patron-client relationships are alive and thriving in transnational spaces. Cognizant of the political capital residing in diasporas, homeland governments, opposition political parties, and insurgent groups seek to tap theirA" co-nationals abroad to advance development strategies and broader geopolitical agendas. Politics from Afar maps an ambitious theoretical and empirical agenda for the analysis of contemporary diaspora politics.
