This has spelt heterogeneity, syncretism and conflict. In drawing upon the practices of empirical research promoted by Western intellectual traditions, the author demonstrates the strengths of these practices through his contextualised engagement with the pogroms of 1915 and 1983, as well as other incidents, as at the same time he delineates some of the limits of empiricist rationality.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book is replete with rich ethnographic detail and serves as an exercise in historical anthropology which illuminates Sri Lanka's political culture. It not only opens out the contrast between Western and Indian world views, but also explores the human condition by bringing out the immediacy surrounding acts of victimisation and human beings in conflict.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Michael Roberts\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3718656922\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783718656929\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/01\/1995\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 406\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.46lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.69h x 6.85w x 0.83d","brand":"Michael Roberts","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48442813350143,"sku":"9783718656929","price":39.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_5cefdca9-a0d1-4c6f-b3f7-85e5f9ab0dc8.jpg?v=1777199943","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/exploring-confrontation-michael-roberts-9783718656929","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
