Examines how the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami fostered new forms of governance and militarization during Sri Lanka’s decades-long civil war. Foregrounding ethnographic narratives, Choi amplifies the experiences of those affected by the tsunami, and shows how life perseveres against perpetual uncertainty and danger—caused by natural disasters and state-sanctioned violence alike.
