Four critically acclaimed writers read from new books exploring the legacy of political violence, whether it’s based around gender or war, migration or the state. Fiction writers Anuk Arudpragasam, Hasanthika Sirisena, Sunil Yapa, and Nayomi Munaweera (here for a rare New York appearance!) unearth trauma’s deep wounds from the Civil War in Sri Lanka and its diaspora to the WTO protests in 1999 Seattle. We’re delighted to add Sunila Galappatti to this line-up. They’ll talk with Kitana Ananda, the Mellon Humanities Alliance Postdoctoral Fellow at The Futures Initiative and The Graduate Center at CUNY.
