Martyrdom and Political Resistance : Essays from Asia and Europe (Comparative Asian Studies, 18) published by VU University Press for Centre Asian Studies, Amsterdam and is essential reading for those seeking to further their understanding of the continuing struggles for freedom in many parts of the world. From the Preface: "New nations are formed within post-colonial states and old nations gain their freedom from recent empires. At a time like that, it seems pertinent to consider the role of traditions of martyrdom in shaping and sustaining political resistance. This collection of essays, dealing among others with Sikhs in the Punjab. Tamil Tigers in Sri Lanka and the IRA in Northern Ireland. explores the social variables that allow the martyr’s sacrifice to be effectively utilized by a political movement. The essays consider how various forms of social association as well as religious and historical tradition influence the place of the martyr in a resistance struggle and describe the differing social and political processes that affect martyr authentication."
