Sri Lanka in the Modern Age

Since the late 1970s civil war has left Sri Lanka in an almost permanent state of crisis; conventional histories of the country by liberal and Marxist scholars in the last two decades have thus tended to focus on the state's failure to accommodate the needs and demands of the minorities. The entire history of the twentieth century has been tied to this one key issue.

Nira Wickramasinghe is a Professor in the Department of History and International Relations, University of Colombo, Sri Lanka.
