ABSTRACT Based on 30 life history interviews with former members of the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE), this article analyses the particular challenges ex-combatants with disabilities face when returning to civilian lives. Moreover, it uses an intersectional approach to explore how disability intersects with gender and geographic location to generate specific patterns of marginalisation for different groups of disabled ex-combatants. Findings demonstrate the lack of attention paid to the specific needs of disabled ex-combatants by post-conflict policies which, combined with cumbersome procedures and favouritism in the selection of beneficiaries, have left ex-combatants dependent on family networks for livelihood assistance. This dependency exacerbates prejudices against and the social isolation of disabled ex-combatants and detrimentally affects their self-esteem. Furthermore, the article shows how disability and gender intersect to generate additional forms of discrimination resulting from increased social stigma, patriarchal attitudes and the exposure to different forms of abuse, as well as how differences in terms of communal support network, the density of ex-combatant populations and political attitudes generate spatial variation in patterns of social and economic marginalisation.

以交叉方式理解斯里兰卡前残疾战斗人员的边缘化模式

摘要根据对泰米尔伊拉姆猛虎解放组织（LTTE）前成员的30次生活史访谈，本文分析了前残疾战斗人员重返平民生活时面临的特殊挑战。此外，它使用交叉方法探索残疾如何与性别和地理位置相交，以针对不同类别的残疾前战斗人员产生特定的边缘化模式。调查结果表明，冲突后政策缺乏对残疾前战斗人员的特殊需求的关注，这些政策加上繁琐的程序和favor选受益人的偏爱，使前战斗人员不得不依靠家庭网络谋生。这种依赖性加剧了对残疾前战斗人员的偏见和社会隔离，并不利地影响了他们的自尊。此外，本文还说明了由于社会耻辱感，重男轻女的态度以及遭受不同形式的虐待而导致的残疾和性别如何交叉产生其他形式的歧视，以及社区支持网络，前者的密度如何变化。战斗人员的数量和政治态度导致社会和经济边缘化模式的空间差异。
