Periodization in Sri Lankan History:
Some Reflections with Special Emphasis on the Development of the StateR.A.L.H. Gunawardana
US $ 10.00
Dr. Gunawardana states “The need for a fresh look at the problem of periodization … stemmed from dissatisfaction with the categories of periodization used in popular text books on Sri Lankan history… Periodization is inevitable and if not explicit, almost always implicit in historical discourse.” This short book by a leading historian reflects on the periodization of Sri Lankan history, with emphasis primarily on the state. Dr. Gunawardana is Emeritus Professor of History at the University of Peradeniya, Sri Lanka and former Vice-Chancellor of that University.
