Product Description

This books is a study of social change in Sri Lanka during the first five decades of the island's independence. It deals with changes in a number of key areas of social, economic and political life that were decisive for  both the successes and the failures of th4e newly independent nation's search for modernity, prosperity and happiness. These include social engineering, as reflected in improvements in health and longevity; colonization schemes and a related semi-urbanization; democratization of education; and land reform as well as the provision of credit facilities for the poor with a view to ameliorating their chronic indebtedness and subservience to feudalistic landlords.  

Dr. Amunugama provides the reader with a rich body of data that reveals an unparalleled intimacy within the contemporary social and cultural processes of the island.
