Product Description

Translated for the first time into English, Season of Death, is the searing testimony of Pushparani, a Tamil woman who joined the armed struggle in Sri Lanka in the 1970s. Poignant and hard-hitting, she chronicles a political landscape defined by the absence of women, a state of ethnic oppression that pushed Tamil youth to voluntarily take up weapons, and the unspeakable horrors of police torture and prison life. Originally published in Tamil as Akalam, her memoir was widely read and critically acclaimed.
