The Sri Lanka Reader by John Holt
An interdisciplinary anthology that assembles primary documents, literary excerpts, essays, and historical analyses to trace Sri Lanka’s trajectory from ancient polities through colonial rule to postindependence politics and the late-20th-century civil war; by juxtaposing official records, personal narratives, religious and cultural texts, and scholarly commentary, it illuminates how colonialism, nationalism, ethnic and religious identities, and competing visions of modernity shaped the island’s contested social and political life.
