A Sinhala-language study of social relations in Nuwarakalawiya, the historic region of the dry zone centred on Anuradhapura and the surrounding North Central villages, across the span of the nineteenth century under British rule.
The work belongs to the field of regional social history — the kind of scholarship that takes one administrative region and one defined period and examines how people in it lived alongside one another. Ukku Banda Karunananda writes here on a part of the island whose village society, irrigation-based settlement and colonial-era administration have long interested Sri Lankan historians.
Please note that the text is entirely in Sinhala. There is no English translation within the volume, so a reading knowledge of Sinhala is needed. The publisher is Godage International Publishers, an established Colombo house that issues academic and general titles in Sinhala and English.
It will suit students and researchers of Sri Lankan history, readers with family or scholarly ties to the Anuradhapura district, and Sinhala-reading collectors building a shelf on the colonial period.
