Religion, Space and Conflict in Sri Lanka: Colonial and Postcolonial Contexts

By Elizabeth J. Harris

Book Overview

This book uses the lens of space to examine inter-religious and inter-communal conflict in colonial and post-colonial Sri Lanka, demonstrating that the colonial can shed light on the post-colonial, particularly on post-war developments, when Buddhist symbolism was controversially developed in the former, largely non-Buddhist, war zones.
