Conclusion: (Re)creating home- remembering the past, looking to the future

In this conclusion, we present a brief discussion of key themes that arise from the collection as a whole. We discuss the significance of positionality for this group of researchers and writers with Sri Lankan heritage and diverse identifications and experiences that impact on our work; what this book tells us is about homeland rebuilding life as a migrant who has left a war-affected homeland. We end the chapter with thoughts for future directions for research on the Sri Lankan Tamil diaspora.
