- Summary:
- "Focusing on the post-war period, the book shows that ethnicities in Sri Lanka are continuously changing. The prominence of stubborn ethnic labels is the result of a long history of politicisation of ethnicities. Showing that these labels fail to do justice to lived realities, Anton highlights the various situational natures of ethnic identities as they link with as caste, class, education, profession, religious practices, etc."--Back cover.
