The Afterlives of Tamil Tigers explores the experience of war, defeat, and exile among former fighters-both men and women-of the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE), through the testimonies of veterans now living in France. Moving beyond the organisation's reputation for violence, Giacomo Mantovan sheds light on the everyday lives, emotions, and ideological commitment of its combatants. By tracing their life trajectories-from military training to exile, through combat, torture, loss, and survival-he examines how these experiences have left a lasting imprint on their identities and ways of being in the world.
