Editorial gloss

Anthropological account of the lived experience of Up-country Tamil disenfranchisement under the 1948 Ceylon Citizenship Act and the 1949 Indian and Pakistani Residents (Citizenship) Act — approximately 975,000 plantation Tamils rendered stateless. Pairs with Wilson 1988 for the citizenship-stripping anchor.
