Summaries and Reviews
Amazon.com description: Product Description:
This collection of essays constitutes a tribute to the hybrid and multicultural nature of Sri Lanka's society and cultures, composed of Sinhala, Tamil, Muslims, and Burghers and including the major faiths--Buddhism, Hindu, Islam, and Christianity. The essays in this book cover a range of topics from the personal effects of hybridity to its political ramifications. They examine the Veddas and the Sinhalese, common kinship patterns of the Sinhalese and Tamils, the demonization of the Burghers of mixed ancestry, hybrid music forms, and the Kandyans and hybrid 'things'.
