Finding a Place:
Local integration and protracted displacement in Sri Lanka

Displacement because of war means physical dislocation, the separation of people from their everyday practices and their familiar environments, social disruption and material dispossession. Displacement not only affects those who are forced to flee; those left behind and those receiving the displaced people may also experience profound changes in their lives, and may likewise experience feelings of displacement. My research concentrates on those forced to flee, the IDPs, and those receiving the displaced, the hosts. Displacement because of civil war represents profound injustice and is characterised by loss, trauma and marginalisation. However, without romanticising displacement, displacement may also be said to involve innovation; it is a process creating change and new possibilities. This research attempts to analyse displacement in terms of this ‘doubleness’ of marginalization and innovation.
